One area might be your TP (throttle position) sensor. Sometimes these sensors can have a dead spot and your explanation appears to me like this could be something you might want to check. If you test the voltage, it should be a steady increase in voltage as you press the accelerator or turn the throttle. If there is a dead spot, it will all of a sudden go down to 0 volts and then jump back up. It's worth testing. hope this helps.

Is the CEL ON?

You also might want to check whether the ignition timing is set to spec.

Have you inspected the plugs, distributor cap, and rotor?

When was the air filter last replaced?
