My 2001 Buick LeSabre Custom cuts out upon start up when applying the gas pedal. Also under acceleration, especially until it's warmed up. But will do it under every acceleration even at highway speeds and I accelerate to pass or change lanes.

Looks like you have a problem with MAF sensor, it's dirty or it failed.

Check your TPS Throttle positioning sensor. Sounds like it has a dead spot in it or it is failing. May also be a wiring harness issue or loose connection at TPS too! If its intermittent then it will soon go out completely. It should be located on your fuel pedal. Remove it and check it with an ohm meter. Check resistance all the way thru from 0-100 percent. When it is not working it should do nothing and show no resistance. When it is working the resistance value will increase and or decrease as you turn the sensor.

2001 Buick Lesabre starts normal everyday. Car sits three days or more will not start unless you put the accelerator pedal down at least twice

put the accelerator pedal down at least twice ? While cranking the engine ? key on ? what ? Your vehicle has electronic fuel injection ,not a carburator . Pushing the gas pedal doesn't do anything The only thing if pushing the gas pedal to the foor an holding it there will put it into clear flood mode , shutting off the fuel injectors .

My 97 buick lesabre starts m runs fine once it warms up it boggs n stalls why

check your fuel pressure sensor, that is located on your fuel rail. it would have a vacum hose to the top of it. cause it would cause it to give it plenty of gas upon start up (like a choke) but fails to stop feeding it so much fuel once it warms all the way up. just a suggestion.

When i first start my 95 lesabre it run really rough until its warm after its warm it idles real nice but if i give it too much throttle too fast it cuts out and loses power especially up hills.i just hadf...

Sounds like the throttle body is sticking. Do not use WD40 to free it. Use some Carb cleaner on it and then oil it with some synthetic 5w30 engine oil. You may also have to clean the MAF and MAP sensors if this is fuel injected. I had a 2000 Buick Lesabre and the glue came off letting in water when driven in the rain. It would cut out till the heat from the engine dried out the water and then it would work again.

Power (acceleration) loss at mid-high RPM only

Loss of acceleration, the backpressure noise and such are kinda tell tale signs of that converter having problems, feel the exhaust out of the tailpipe it will be warm normally have someone step on the gas and if its super hot it'd be a step in the right direction.
