Default 850 2.5s Petrol Losing power when accelerating

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
My 850 2.5s Petrol has develeped a problem under acceleration. If I drive it normally most of the time it appears okay (although it has stalled a junction, or if left running), however if I pull away under heavy acceleration it appears to loose power and starts to judder. If I take my foot of the pedal and then apply again slowly it appears to be okay, until I do the same thing in the next gear.
Please any suggestions????

I would check the throttle cable and make sure its not too tight.I had the same problem and it went away after adjusting.
