Default Help please car running like crap.

Started my car today and began driving. It felt like the car was bogging, I would give it gas and it wouldlike struggle to move and when I stop it it like something kicks in and it takes off. It idles fine so I doubt its a plug thing. I checked the TPS and its not stuck or anything. Think maybe its the EGR valve. Almost feels like when our running out of gas. Kicks on and off.

thanks in advance.

Part throttle problems are a good guess towards the EGR. I think you're on the right track....
