    Check the secondary booster venturi / aka / Auxilary Venturi... make sure it is perfectly tight.

    Hey, cool, I'm having just about the same problem (staggering under heavy throttle aplication) and here someone just went and asked about it for me! I'm gonna go check on it.

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM
