idles fine but sputters and dies when I step on accelerator

2002 mitsubishi eclipse 3.0 idles fine but sputters and dies when I step on accelerator. I changed plugs and wires thinking that may do it, but still the same. What to check next?

You need to check..... if someone accidentally replaced your car with a Chevy Camaro or Pontiac Firebird.... because assuming they didn't, your asking the wrong people. We deal with 82 to 92 Third Gen GM F body cars only here.
