SOURCE: Engine stalls when stepping on gas pedal and will not idle on its own.

Have you checked the ignition timing? Maybe you need to turn the distributor to the left or right if you don't have the timing light gun

Take the care to the dealer, This car is easily still under warranty and can be diagnosed and repaired for free.

sounds like a fuel pump problem,with fuel pumps u can have pressure but not enough volume,try goin up a steeper hill in 2nd gear and get about 3000 rpms on the engine and see if it really drops out bad and is really gutless,if that happens without a check engine light coming on it might be yur pump and u should also replace the fuel filter at the same time,hope this helps
