It definitely sounds like an engine problem. The engine is flooding itself. ( can't burn the fuel fast enough ) When you let off the gas, it allows the engine to correct the situation and return to normal. This is often one of the first signs that your timing belt needs replacment. The first step would be to have the timing checked, if you know the problem wasn't there before. If your not sure, a quick look at your plugs, wires, distributor, and filter could help you to narrow it down.
If you want to play with distibutor yourself, make sure you mark it so that you will have the original setting. You shouldn't have to move it off the mark more than a 1/4 inch or so. You'll be able to hear the idle change when you move it and it should run smoothest where it is set correctly.
Good Luck
