I have to feather the gas pedal on acceleration or it will stall and keep the pedal floored on the highway until I get it up to approx. 55 miles an hour. I have been to 4 mechanics and no one can find the problem. Any suggestions/

The fuel pressure was good, one of the mechanics also checked it, I don't have the reading. The fuel filter is new. Any other suggestions? Thank you

only other thing I can recommend is to clean throttle plate on both sides and iac hole with choke cleaner and scan for codes as well as checking for a vacuum leak other than that I have nothing else to suggest
