How about fuel?......It sound like you are getting some to have it iddle ok,
but when you get the pump going it maybe getting  obstructed. I had
something similar happend. Mine turn out to be crap in the tank prior to the
square fuel filter. I had replaced the filter too.

So check the easy stuff first. It could be a clogged fuel filter. Is the
fuel pump making much noise?  Another indication of it working too hard to
get you the fuel the motor needs.
