How are the belts?
What do you mean by "gun it"?

How many miles do you have on the car?

What is the maintenance history besides the spark plugs?

I recommend you to check the TPS, and also de adjustment on the throttle cable... It should be some problem there, because when you turn all the way you're asking to the engine to do more power for the hydropump, if you have a bad TPS, then the throttle is not going to know what to do
