AIr intake tube from air flow meter to throttle body can casue this you need to remove it to properly inspect it for cracks buy flexing...

Cheers.

this...also check the icv hoses for cracks.

i would suspect a cat to *not* let you rev high, and possibly stall under acceleration if severe enough, so i would not jump straight to that just yet.

check the simpler, easier (cheaper) things first, then move on from there once they have been ruled out. no sense throwing parts and money at a vehicle by guessing and hope it fixes the issue.

Stopped up cat, vacuum leak, weak fuel pump, weak coil or bad wires, MAF reading weird. There's lots that can be going on, have you pulled any codes yet?
