Not the Fuel pump. When that goes out, it doesn't start at all, mine did that. Sounds like a clogged fuel filter. I would change that first. It is near the left rear tire, just follow the lines and you will find it. Open the gas cap first, then bleed the pressure out of the lines at the fuel pressure regulator right behind the intake.

Sounds like the IAC, but... I recall there being a mode the PCM enters at WOT starts.

Will the car run afterwards fine? If it needs full throttle to keep it running then I would check for a clogged cat (if you havent removed it).
