Default 2.3 mustang loosing power and stumbling..

Runs great when you are cruising down the road, but as soon as you get over half throttle in any gear at any speed it just falls on its face, sounds like a semi truck on the jake brake... bogs down and looses speed really bad. What may cause this? Fuel pump bad? coil pack bad?

I don't know... I noticed two of the plug wires werent hooked up and a few were broken, how that happened I do not know so i put new ones on there but.... it's just confusing me. It's a used motor didn't really pay a whole lot for it so maybe it needs a lot of work haha heck I just put 4 grand in the 306... ugh money shortages suck....
