First, some forum guidlines that I learned right away when I joined. Tell us a little about your car and post some pics of your car (beat you to it , Mike).

As for your problem, you will get more help by posting in the correct forum. This type of problem should go in the Engine and Tuning section. The members here will be a great help to you and save you from needless spending and throwing parts at your car to fix it, and there are some guys that are excellent with the injection system. Assuming it has a clean air filter, the first thing to check here would be the flap in the air flow meter and make sure it has full travel and doesn't get stuck when you accellerate.

Keep us informed and post in the other section. You will get the help you need.

Can you describe the symptoms more specifically? At this point I'm not sure if the car is dying when you accelerate, if it bogs down, or what is happening.
A more specific explanation of the symtoms will help us help you.
