Could be a fuel issue. Maybe a fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator.

Are any SES light popping up? You might also check your front O2 sensors and make sure they aren't fouled out. The car will act like what you are describing if those sensors aren't in good working order.

Id say this is the same issue most are complaining about in different words. A vaccume leak from back behind the manifold usually shows a culprit. Strip back the coating and use a mirror or something to really get a good look, I missed mine for over a year from not stripping and throughly inspecting.
