Default 1999 Grand Am Stumbling Throttle

So I'm fixing a grand am that has a really bad stumble. If you lightly accelerate, it's fine. If you accelerate just a little harder though the thing starts misfiring like crazy like there's no fuel getting to half the cylinders. I am going to test the rail pressure today, I read on another forum that it should be 41-47psi at idle. To me it sounds like a clogged fuel filter because it does it in neutral revs too. Any other ideas?

My money is on fuel, though I'm not familiar with the car. Vacuum lines?
