I really am thinking fuel now, as if it won't ignite readily and just floods the engine. Foot hard to the floor allows for a shuddery start - running fine from then on.

I'm still a big believer that you got a tank of bad gas, I guess this will be my theory until I'm proven wrong. I always search for the "easy" things first, too many times people start looking for more than what it actually is. A good rule thumb for fixing any problem is to keep it "simple" first, and then progress from there. Good luck.
But on the flip side of that, years ago when I first had the acceleration problem I didn't listen to people and do the simple fix of the ECU, or the cheapest. I didn't want to believe that a simple tiny capacitor could ruin the whole car. But when I finally jumped on the bandwagon and switched the ECU everything was fine, til that one also went.
My 'ol man used to say keep it simple stupid.

And cheapest. If ya keep it simple it's usually cheap.
