Idles fine, but no acceleration

I got a 89 GTU non-turbo.

It idles like a champ, if you give it a slow feed of gas it will rev up smoothly too, but when you give it a normal amount or floor it, the engine boggs down, backfires, and eventually dies out.

Anyone else ever dealt with this before?

This is a search for stutter or stumble or bog* or hesitat* in 2nd gen titles only with 10 replies or more. http://www.rx7clubs.com/showthread.p...1&goto=newpost

I think I've read about 80-90% over the last few months while troubleshooting my own lean stumble.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a key word or two here, but anyway I hope it helps.

Cheers
