Default Engine cuts out?

Lately my engine has been acting up. It cuts and like its not getting fuel of something along the lines of that, i know its not missing on a cylinder or anything, plugs are 1 month old-new cap&rotor-about 3 months-wires 9mm FR-fairly new. Now its been happening since inter, but i thought it was just the cold, but now thats its warming up im kinda stumped-also it does this over bump(maybe baffle) but only happens on the way to work, never reeally notice on the way home which makes no sense
Sorry for the "book", thanks for the help.

i had the hot wire to the fuel pump rubbing the pump bracket inside the tank.she would just lose it all until i pulled off the road(bump)and it would fire right back up.it was when the wire finally welded itself to the bracket before i realized the pump had gone quiet.i hate to say it but you may need to hit a few more potholes or drop the tank if thatis happening.

Well then engine doesnt die or anything it just for a second cuts out, like its not getting fuel, it could be something else, but thats a good idea with the wire but i think it coul be something ot do with sensors..........

No cats on the car.............basically like in the original post it does this over bump-which leads me to beleive its the pump_but it only does this in the mornings n the way to work at 6:00 am. doesnt do it as much in the afternoon,

I got the same problem too. I happen just the other day. It didnt happen for a while but decided to happen yesterday. No matter how much gas pedal you give it it wont rev above about 2300 rpm.
