Strange car dying problem.

I was driving on the highway and my car did something very strange. It was driving beautifully and suddenly when I hit the gas just nothing. It didnt die but if I mashed the gas pedal all the way in it would die. If I just lightly depressed it, it would work. So I pulled over and looked under the hood for anything obvious, didn't see anything. Waited a while and started it up and drove away, seemed normal but it happened again. Any thoughts? Thanks.
