When this situation occurs is the engine cold or hot? Cold as in the fuel management system is still open loop or hot as in closed loop? Being as SE a take it that the engine is the 3.1L pushrod & not the 3.4 DOHC engine

i had a 3.1 gt that would do the same thing and it ended up being injectors that were clogged

If cleaning/ replacing injectors doesn't help, replace the Throttle Position Sensor. I just did, and it runs like a different car. Used to die at Stop signs.
