there can be many reasons for this. most likely it will not be a fuel problem or an air or fuel filter problem. filters when dirty tend to lag performance and would get worse as you demand more from the engine at higher rpm. it could be a vacuum leak but itll have to be a large one. it can be a TPS ( throttle position sensor) or a MAP
(manifold absolete Pressure) sensor or even a MAF (mass Air Flow ) sensor/meter. even the PRNDL switch could cause a problem and of course theres electrical. if you live near a comunity college take it there youd be surprise as to how low theyd charge to diagnose the problem. But if your asking for an exact reason and fix to the problem then it can be anything, even an ISC (idle Speed Control) motor. its a good idea to have it checked out first before going around and changing parts and end up getting every thing new except solvoning the problem. I hope this helps

I agree.. this is either your fuel injectors or fuel filter. At least that's what the problem was when this happened to me.

My car did that too.
Problem was the fuel injector. You might need it fixed. It was clogged, limiting the amount of fuel to be used.
It could be anything.. so most places do a free dignostic test.

That has happened to me, too. I took my car to get looked at and they told me I needed a new engine. So, it might be that. I think it's best that you take it to get looked at before anything bad happens.
