after checking vacuum lines, i'd ask myself how recently i changed the fuel filter...perhaps there is a clogging that allows enough fuel to get through to allow for idle, but prevents as much fuel getting through as you are calling for at a higher rev...a yucky fuel filter had been a culprit with some bogging with me...

Cant accelerate, she sputters, pops back thru the intake and will die.
Starts and idles perfectly, you can ease into the throttle and all is well to a point, or if there is a load, she quickly acts up.

The general consensus of the list was vacuum leaks, I have replaced every thing that looks like a vacuum line with no change. I am really pulling my hair out here so where do I go next, besides to the shop!!
