Default 95 V6, delay when pressing throttle

Hi,
I have 95 V6, near enough completely stock.
It has developed a problem, I wonder if any of you have come across it before or know what it could be?
when I put my foot on the throttle there is a delay of about a second before the car revs. It doesnt do this all the time sometimes it wil be fine, sometimes not. The result is that it is a struggle to pull away from stopped and the car feels like it wants to stall when changing gear unless I rev the hell out of it.
Any help or ideas would be most appreciated.
Thank you.

How many miles are on the car? When was the last time you did a tune up?

it's done about 115,000 miles, never had a tune up as far as I know - had a service about 6 months ago.

Change the oil, spark plugs, plug wires, and the fuel filter. Hopefully that will help with the problem.
