My guess would either be the throttle position sensor or the map sensor but I'm not sure.

^^That or could also be a dirty MAF or possibly bad injector. Is it throwing any codes?

if there is no codes, it may work itself out. my truck ran like crap after i disconnected the battery, it threw no codes though. took it to a mechanic he was confused he guess the computer just had to relearn. and now it runs good.
