Engine stall during acceleration. anyone who knows what the problem is let me know...... ive checked the timing belt. timing, replaced plugs, oil, fuel and air filter.
the problem only happens when you accelerate, it happens during regular driving and while parked. and only after the car has been started and the engine is hot (idling for about 30-45 minutes) or about 15-20 minutes of hard acceleration. the car doesn't overheat unless the a/c is turned on (a/c works perfect) after about 5 minutes of the a/c being on with the car hot, it begins to overheat. all the intake tubes are intact, there is no vacuum loss, and no coolant drip until the car begins to overheat and water leaks from the top of the coolant tank. without the a/c on the problem persists, turning on the a/c only accelerates the rate at which the problems begins.
im baffled. i just recently purchase the car and the seller is refusing to help pay for a mechanic to fix it or find the cause.
here is a vid of the problem. each time you hear the car acclelerate im pulling the accelerator to full throttle. it still has the same problem even while pulling the accelerator slowly, but its not as easy to tell when it surges.

any suggestions are appreciated, post back, ill try and fix and report back. i know im asking for something for nothing. but ive tried everything and im all out of options.
i did my fair share of googling and the closest thing i could find was a possible timing belt problem. but the timing is correct and the belt is in almost new condition and missing no teeth.
