Not shure. Maybe a throttle positioning sensor (TPS) Could be a mass airflow sensor (MAF) Need scan tool to check TPS sensor readings.

A scan Tool might not tell you exactly whats wrong without a code,but you can go in a read all the readings on most of your sensors, and you can see which ones are off , or not where they need to be.

I had the same problem with 97 Nissan sentra. I took spark plugs out, they were really bad. I changed the spurg plugs, now the car is running great.

You might also want to try giving it a dose of fuel system cleaner. Maybe the fuel injectors are gummed up and its not spitting enough fuel into the engine. Try that first before you waste your money on something else.
