Does anybody know what the problem is......? :x

When I floor it the car stalls....but if I lightly press the gas the car will run.
I'm stuck and dont want to pay the $75 to get it tested. So if anybody might know what this could be, the input would be appreciated. :)

Head to autozone a get a fuel pressure testing kit. The haynes guide should have the pressure #'s specific to your car. Ususally when you floor your car or are at highway speeds fuel pumps tend to act up. You might try a bottle of fuel system cleaner and see if that helps.

feul cleaner along with a bottle of "marvel mystery oil" yes it does help lubricate the pump and injectors and YES it works...but other than that....take a look at your ignition system, just give it a good tune up, cap wires, rotor and air filter, that might solve alot of your problems.

here's a bit of advice.
if it acts up all of the time it is fuel related
if it acts up only under load or when the throttle is snepped open, it is ignition(except for the fuel filter and fuel pump equation)

Hook up a datalogger, turn on fuel pump with that, check codes, sensors..
