Flooding itself

When I'm driving the car is real sluggish on acceleration but idles fine but if I drive for a bit and stop at a red light almost feals like its flooding itself to stall It happen yesterday I had to keep ramping the pedal to keep it going..WHY could float be stuck? Choke stuck? Timing is off ? Where should I start.
