Default Help. Throttle cut out on highway

Was on my way to work this morning and floored it coming onto the on ramp, got up to about 60 and the throttle started cutting out and recatching it self, almost as if I was running out of gas, but i had gas in there. No lights came on on the dash, temps were fine and voltage was fine. had to pull over as it was slowly pulling me to a stop. killed the engine, restarted and it ran fine? any ideas?

Fuel starve. Lots of people have reported it. Do a search, more info than I can provide here.

I'd jerk the wheel hard next time to the left to slosh the fuel back over to the right.
