It may have something to do with the fuel injectors. :/
If they're acting wacked up when you press the gas pedal (which opens up the throttle valve to let in more air) They might not be providing enough fuel which may cause some freaking when the fuel-less air gets to your cylinders :[ that causes the engine to run lean..

but in your case, you're running rich. meaning that there's too much fuel. vice versa. which causes the engine to run crappy. check the injectors maybe?

AND the throttle valve. there may be insufficient air supply due to a malfunction in the throttle valve.
