The engine is being starved for fuel. Hook up a fuel pressure tester and test the fuel pump for the amount of fuel going into the engine. Also post any trouble codes that are detected from the computer.

post back your findings.

Do the engine rpms go high? It could be a transmission problem. Transmission speed sensors are very common failures on these vehicles.
