engine cutting out at full throttle

I have a 99 tl. About the past 3 weeks the motor has been cutting in and out around 4500-6000 under full throttle in 1st and 2nd. It will sputter in and out until it shifts and gets into lower rpms then does it again until it hits 3rd. I don't know if there is trash in the fuel or what. ANY help appreciated. This car is beginning to be a curse

That sounds like the car going into limp mode for a second..
Do you have a check engine code?

Could be EGR related.

Could be a foul plug or bad coil, etc.
