GT cuts out when I give it a lot of gas, but not when I accelerate smoothly. Why? 200

Trying to sell this thing but I want to solve this problem first: it sputters badly when I step on the gas, though there are no problems when I accelerate smoothly.

I have really gone through the car interms of timing and tune-up stuff, and some fuel system cleaner really improved the problem. Could it be the fuel injectors? What are some other likely causes? It also tends to die after a few minutes of idling and can be a bit hard to start cold.

Also, is there a good link that explains how thoroughly clean k-jet fuel injectors? Thanks!
