Default Engine Problem...Car stumbles/bogs out

Here is the problem:
When driving my car, between 1500-3000 rpms under 20% pressure or more on the gas pedal the car hesitates/bogs out. If I hold the gas down the car loses all power and backfires at times. I have replaced the dist cap rotor and spark plugs. This seemed to work as a temporary solution but the problem is back. The car is not giving me any cels. Any ideas on the problem?

maybe a flat spot in your TPS sensor reading... get a voltmeter and test it

a voltmeter reads volts btw

0% throttle =~ 0.45 - 0.50 volts
WOT =~ 4.45 - 4.55 volts

btw there should be no flat spots when you open the throttle, i.e. the reading should not jump around at any point and should progress linearly up to 4.5 volts. if you have any flat spots or erroneous readings in between, get a new tps.

does the OP have a CEL?

I dont have a cel.
Another thing is if the car is sitting at idle and i rev it up with full throttle and hold it the car will bog down and die as if it lost all power.

did you check you fuel filter or pressure regulator?? sounds like it's clogging somewhere and it slowly looses gas or maybe even air.
