I'd look at the connector for the Air Mass Meter, which is front left (left as in sitting in the drivers seat, not looking at it with the hood up.)

See if the plug is fully seated into the AMM. It's a 6-pin plug, and the AMM is that black cylinder mounted about halfway down the inside of the front strut tower, with the big air ducts to each end of it.

Possibly that's coming loose or wiggling around when you're on the throttle hard. And that probably means you have very soft or maybe broken engine mounts. The one below the oil filter is usually the culprit, and the trans mount is not far behind it. They can be replaced yourself if you have a good jack, ramps or stands, and don't mind getting very dirty for a couple hours.

Otherwise they aren't expensive parts and each should take a shop about an hour.
Good luck!
