hard acceleration=stalled out

so this weekend i went to George Washington Nation Forest ande when i was there my runner started acting up. but whenever i floor it now its ok until i let off then the damn thing shuts off. i cleaned the filter and it still does it. ive got about 127K miles and i think the belts were changed at 64K miles or so. i need some help cause it gets annoying.

So.. does it start without any pedal, or do you have to floor it then too? When it dies, does it diesel for a bit first or just immediately go? Do the gauges go dead as well? What about the dash lights?

In general... Plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter. Any chance that something got sucked into the intake tube? Are all of the vaccuum lines connected?

99SR5, there have been some really good suggestions made to you...

Have you checked the 02? checked for vacuum leaks? What is the tune up condition like, Pulgs and fuel filter mostly? Any pending computer codes? Fuel pressure? \

There is a great list of things, most have already been mentiond in this post, we are trying to help, but you have given us no feedback on the suggestions we have made....

In the 3 days since you started this thread and the last post you made, what have you looked at or checked?

Dont always assume that the computer knows all.... you may have enough of a vacuum leak to keep fuel trim within "allowable peramiters" but still cause drivability...

the only good way to test the 02 is with a graphing mulitmeter.....

If you are 100% sure there is no vacuum leak, I would next seee where your fuel pressure sits...

How old is the fuel filter???

Is it a K&N filter? did you allow the oil to sit a while before driving it?

No, belts will not affect that....

to check for vacuum leaks open the hood and listen for a hissing sound, it may be loud, but it may also be less obvious. A can of carb cleaner is also a good tool of this. If you sprat the carb cleaner towards the area you suspect to have a vacuum leak, and there is a vacuum leak, you should notice a change in how the engine is running.
