Have you checked your plugs/wires? What about any SES codes? Have you cleaned the MAF recently? Check for vacuum leaks around the throttle body and manifold.

Hook up a scanner and see what you get. I had a pending random missfire code before with no light on. I had a bunch of nastyness on my plugs and I changed them and I was good. But you may like mentioned before clean your MAF sensor and while your at it clean the tb and intake manifold.

There are no codes, there is no nitrous on this car it is my friends car. I will hook up to it. Checked the plugs, how do you go about checking wires?
Thinking back the car DID have a random misfire code but I know for a fact as of right now it has no codes, but like I said I will rerun the scanner.

My car would do the same thing as the OP. After alot of headaches and and bending over the hood. I found that my lid elbow after the MAF was cracked and letting unmetered air into the system. At idle and normal driving it was unnoticable but at WOT that was a totally different ballgame. You could check that. Hope this helps.
