My first guess would be a clogged fuel filter. They should be replaced every 10,000 miles or so. Your fuel filter is located under the car, probably on the driver's side frame rail. I have added a photo to show you what the filter looks like.
It may also be a dirty throttle body. Spraying carburetor cleaner into the throttle body may clear up the problem. Just be sure to spray it with the car running and have a friend rev the engine while you're doing it (the car will stall if you don't rev it). Spray it at arm's length, since carb cleaner is very flammable.
My last idea would be a defective throttle position sensor (TPS), which is located on the throttle body. Not hard to replace. I have added a photo of the TPS sensor as well.
