Pull the error codes from the ECU, it sounds like the car might be going into fail-safe mode if it doesn't want to run at WOT. If you give it partial throttle, will it drive OK?

well that happend to me once when my battery terminals wheren't bolted down good so my msd couldn't fire the leading coils thus making me flood while driving. Make sure you injectors aren't stuck open, if they are then it is more than likely the secondaries that are sticking open being that it only happens at wot. Just a couple things to check. may want to ask the experts though.

When's the last time you changed or cleaned your fuel filters?

Do you have cats on the car?

Did the check engine light come on at all?

From https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=413056:

There is a green one pin connector near the leading coil and the battery. Attach a small spade terminal on the end of a wire and plug it in. Put a clip on the other end of the wire and ground it to the body.

Go in the car and turn the key to ON. Look at the check engine light. It will begin flashing the codes. A long flash is a "10", a short flash is a "1". So, say there were two long flashes followed by seven short flashes, that would be Code Number 27.

It will flash any stored codes and then repeat. Once you get the codes, download the factory service manual (the link should be in the FAQ at the top of this section) and figure out what codes you have.

Can you see the front of the cat honeycomb if you take the pipe off? That's the easiest way to check...
