Question Revs reverse but wont drive forwards

Can't believe it,got 2 ford aus doing the same.
Ones an au xr8 manual other a stock au auto 6.

The cars will rev as hard as you want.You can put in reverse and drive has as you want.
But soon as you put in gear to drive take off it spatters and more you apply accelerator feels like starves it and stops.
Not sure if coul fuel pump or a sensor just weird you can rev and don't miss a beat.
Very frustrating
