When we bought it second hand all the basics "filters"etc . After 1000 mIles of use this fault started TO happen. Know as son as the accelarator is pressed it turns off. I changed the gasoline filter ,I thought is could be that. Turns out that didn't make any difference.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

If the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned for trouble codes. Most parts stores will do it for free. Also, I would recommend checking fuel pump pressure to confirm it is within the manufacturer's specs.
