So do they all smell like gas???
what is your fuel mileage???

I need a little info
you say the car idles at around 700 RPM if you accelerate slowly everything is fine.
If you accelerate quickly it bogs until around 1500 RPM then smooths out.

So here is what I need to know: is this while driving or parked in neutral???

Also what happens if you go wide open throttle from 1500???? does it accelerate normally or???

My thoughts are, well actually more of a guess, is that you have one or more injectors that are leaking.
The bog when trying to accelerate from idle quickly "could be" from to rich of a mixture from a leaking injector or injectors.

Once your at 1500RPM the engine is starting to breath getting more air and it is bringing the rich mixture more inline. So the engine smooths out.
If the car will accelerate more normally from 1500 to wide open throttle that would kind of go alone with injectors leaking because the engine is demanding all the fuel it can get under those conditions. And being a little rich is what it needs under those conditions.

If the car bogs when you try to go from 1500 to wide open throttle then we have another issue like not enough fuel.

But I need the above info and a vacuum test and maybe another test or two to rule out some things, like poor cam or valve timing, vacuum leaks, to low or to high of fuel pressure, air metering- measuring issues...
Hope this all make some sense....
