check out all of the electronics (plugs, wires, etc.) and hope it isn't something expensive like needing a alternator.
 
i REALLY doubt it's altenator. I have problem with my brother's pontiac, hit the gas, doesn't do anything, kinda sputters, then goes, took her down to our shop and tapped on the cat, and found that mother fooker is packed. So clogged cat for me, but with you having a 99, I really doubt that. Try fuel injector cleaner, or maybe you just got some bad gas.
 
I think bogs are not usually as igntion related as misfiring.

I would try plugs,wires first if they are getting on in miles.
My car would misfire at full throttle.Was bad coilpacks.

For fuel well you changed out fuel filter. Possibly fuel pump problem,possibly injector problem.

And possibly things like tps or ecu problems.

And also the old clogged cat problem too.

I have a similar problem now.But its intermittent and seems to happen after driving car for like a hour.It starts to bog off the line like you are describing and then bogs thru the range.

Oh and guess the old bad boost leak can cause this stuff too.

And to make it worse I assume like me you have no check engine light.

I think we really do need some type of logger.!!
