Car jerks at WOT...

Lets say for example im driving on the highway going about 50. When i got WOT the car jerks violently and doesnt accelerate, like its stuck or something. I've checked EVERYTHING, changed the plugs and the wires, checked the tuning...and still cant find the problem? There's no engine light and sometimes while just driving, the car will stumble horribly. Like I said this only happens when I go WOT while already moving. It doesnt happen if I just mash it from a stop. Any ideas?
