When a car shuts off and stalls when hitting the gas and without any check engine lights on?

It would be different with fuel injected vs carbureted vehicles but same principle. Usually there is a lack of fuel and too much air that causes a stall on accel. It could be traced back to a weak fuel pump or restricted fuel filter, or both (lack of fuel volume). But I think, in the real world, the most common would be a bad accelerator pump on carbs and a faulty tps on fuel injected. There is also a possibility of a bad map or maf sensor, but less likely.
