we need more info to make a diagnosis
5spd or automatic? Tried cleaning the fuel injectors (at least with Chevron Techron gas additive) and throttle body with cleaner? How old are plugs and wires -- OEM?
Still a bit vague... maybe you need a tune-up.
Maybe a plugged exhaust or cat? Do you hear a hissing sound when you are trying to accelerate?
Do a compression test on the cylinders if below 100 time for rings/valves -- if 140+ and all near that then look for a cloughed catylitic converter.
