Tuning issues. You need to find somebody that can tune it for you.

Check the MAF for dirt or oil on the small resistor wires.

Time to have a long talk with the installer. It's surprising your engine is able to idle at 3k to 4k RPM without stalling. That's quite low for a motor to continue to run. I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say: "it catches". That's usually a term I use when I'm talking to my friends about what bait I used when redfishing. "Damn, what bait did you use to get Big Dog into the boat"? "Try the Johnson Spoon. It catches". Apparently when you catch it's not the same thing down here in south Louisiana. When we catch down here it's time to get out the Crisco.
