2004 Sunfire stumbles while throttling

I live in in Germany and own a 04 Sunfire with 2.2 Ecotec . The car runs fine, only when I throttle the engine stumbles/stutters (I dont know how to explain it well). I already changed the air filter, but when accelerating there is no problem, only when taking away the gas. I fear that it could be something with the electronics, because here in Germany there is nothing of service resp. Pontiac....
Thanks for all advices !

hi, ok I will do this. But I don't understand, why. While accelerating it seems that it gets enough fuel, why it stumbles when throtteling ??

Have seen issues like this from dirty injectors, MAF sensors that got dirty to name a couple.
