Cant accelerate fast without motor studdering.

As the title says, if i hammer on the gas the motor will almost kill fuel. If i start off like a normal driver it seems fine, its when I really need like a fast pass.

Any help is appreciated.

Haha, sorry, 2010 xS AE edition, stillen Gen3 cai, and tannabe muffler, just axle back .
Mileage is 82K. that's it. Im going to change plugs for sure, and I only gas up at shell stations using their 93 octane. Now today it didn't seem to happen. It showed no codes either. I was going to change the fuel filter, but was informed u cant! Wich I thought was the dumbest thing possible...

Have you had your throttle bodies cleaned?

I have not done anything with throttle bodies, they seem fine, its almost seems like it didn't accept the additional rush of fuel, and almost shuts off. And I could do it at any speed if I slam the pedal. Weird it didn't do it yesterday... just kinda strange. I appreciate the help.

Blnewt's quote about cleaning the throttle bodies is good advice. I would recommend doing that and you could change your plugs at the same time. You have to remove the throttle bodies to get at the plugs anyway so might as well kill two birds with one stone. I just did this myself a couple of weeks ago.

Well fellas, Yesterday on the wat to get my new set of shoes put on finally Summer wheels n tires, It was to the point of I could hardly accelerate, but finally a service engine light came on, he ran the test and its two throttle body sensors need replacement, and yes I will be cleaning the throttle body, or is money well spent on a bigger one?

I would clean throttle bodies, reset ECU, and do the throttle relearn. Oh, and change/clean the PCV valves, and clean the MAF sensors.
