Arrow Wierd acceleration need help.

Well yesterday I was doing a little "FUN DRIVING" but on the road that I was doing it there are "speed humps" not as bad as speed bumps but still bumps in the road. I hit on at about 35mph and then my car would bog when I floored it. I am thinking it is my TPS or my AFM stuck or catching on something. IDEAS, COMMENTS, Critircisms????

P.S. It stopped doing it after being parked for 30 minutes.

Loose connection, AFM, or plugged up fuel pickup.
A dirty fuel pickup strainer is sensitive to fuel sloshing it the tank is not top full.

how hard is it to take out the pump and strainer?

also anyone else got a different idea.

BTW this would happen in a straight line in neutral turning either way and I had about5 or 6 gallons in the tank.

should be pretty level, but if the stock box is in, it can't be that far off.

I think I too would check to see if you have a fuel issue at the pickup in the tank.

make sure the ground didnt come loose under the car,because i just found out that the ignition timing wires run under the car with the ground wire off the alternator.right next to the manual trans and i promise you they do in fact , because I have a motor out on a 87 sedan and i followed them myself.
