This is a long stretch, but maybe the spark plug wires are wired wrong. Some D--k head at the dealership did that once to my car by accident.

OP: What you describe sounds very much like a vacuum leak. The car should be throwing a CEL; if you can download that it would go a long way to letting you know whats going on.

A good indication is if it's throwing the code for "O2 sensor stuck lean" or something similar it is almost certainly a vacuum problem.

The guy above that stated TPS problem may also be on to something as this would also cause a similar situation.
