my car is acting the same way...#1) you have a vacuum leak (if your gauge isnt broken, what does it idle at? - should be around 20-22 vac. #2) your TPS (throttle position censor) has gone bad. (its on the bottom passenger side of the block if im not mistaken. check for any lose hoses, lines run a boost leak detector and see if youre losing any type of pressure/vacuum anywhere. do you have anything done to the car?
