Throttle position sensor, or just dirty. Try running higher octane gas, (premium) and/or a gas treatment supplement like STP every other tankfull. High performance engines won't run right on regular gas. My mom uses premium, she gets great performance and better gas mileage in her 99 oldsmobile.

How many miles? Because if you haven't, consider having your fuel system inspected. It may be time for a fuel filter replacement.
