i just had the same thing in my car. Turned out the MAF sensor was buggered. I took it to the mechanic, he plugged it into a machine and told him that it was stuffed. cost me $35 for the test.

might be worth looking at.

Is your engine shuddering?; ie missing or is it hesitating?; ie not feeling like it wants to rev normally under load?
If its hesitating I'd suggest you might have a dirty fuel filter, I'd check this first as it is a lot cheaper to replace than a MAF sensor, and will cause the engine to starve and jerk and not accelerate cleanly.
