First I would try cleaning my Idle Air Control Valve. Here's a short how to video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i82s4ZfR2js I would also give the entire throttle body a good cleaning. If after cleaning the IAC, and the problem still persists, I would have the Cat converter checked. When they become plugged the car will not accelerate.

Runs fine rest of time, have had some mechanics look at it but it doesn't act up then. Any hints or thoughts on what it could be, have been told it might be a fuel issue, but that has been looked at.
