Hi,
Have you had the computer scanned to see if there are diagnostic trouble codes? Most parts stores will do it free of charge. If you haven't, start with that.
The idea that it loses power when it's under a load leads me to think it could be low fuel pressure. If you haven't checked it, I would confirm it is within the manufacturer's specifications.
Here is a link that explains in general how it's done:

You will need a fuel pressure gauge, but most parts stores will lend one to you.
If you look at the attached pic below (pic 1), I highlighted the throttle plate on the throttle body. Is that what you see being shut? If so, when the throttle is not being pressed, it should be closed. Air entering the engine is provided via what is called an idle air control valve. Let me know if that is the part. Also, pic 2 shows the fuel pressure specifications.
Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.
Take care,
Joe
