Help my car has a mind of its own

well the problem with my 01 sh manual is that it will randomly stop acellerating. when driving it the rpms will just stop or stutter through out all rpm ranges, like it can't get past the rpm. example I will take off in first and at about 2 thousand rpm it will start bucking like somethings clogged, then I have push the clutch down all the way so it will stop, when i feel that its about to do it on a take off i have to ride the clutch and slowly acellerate or it will buck like a bull. yeah its real annoying it looks like I don't know how to drive stick . well it mainly does it in first gear and on steep hills. the car will jerk and even chirp my tires. car has rough idle too which is also random and other times the car won't do it for days and then its back until it feels like its not in the mood anymore. I suspect bad gasoline caz it started a little while after i got some gas at an arco. I googled bad gasoline and the symptoms match mine. rough starting, rotten egg smell from tail pipe. I'm not sure how to fix this problem i've been using fuel injector cleaner and plan on checking my egr valve and ports. and a tip never buy gasoline in the ghetto and stay with top end gas brands like cheveron, shell and texaco I guess do they still have those. well i'm sure all you guys already do that.

just run a quick search, and I'm pretty sure it's in a FAQ/sticky somewhere too. make sure you have a paperclip though

did you get this problem fixed? i had similar symptoms, and it ended up being the TPS sensor.
