Problem with acceleration under WOT - Help!

Hey, well, It only used to do it rarely, but now its most of the time. When I'm driving around and I floor it, around 3000rpm the car starts to buck really hard, and this occurs at any speed, its really a pisser, and im wondering what could it be, and a possible quick fix if there is one... thanks in advance...

I had a similar prob. it was the pickup coil. I would check the wires/cap/rotor/plugs first.
