Question

It could be alot of things.

My 1st guesses:

1. Restricted fuel filter
2. Restricted air filter
3. Restricted CAT(s)
4. Ignition is weak
5. PCM is miscalculating fueling

A wide-band O2 would help to accurately indicate the problem, though.

Good Luck!

Does it make any popping noises or anything?

Could be bad plugs and wires if thats the case.

Or if there is no noise and it stops pulling it could be worn valve springs.

I'd guess plugs and wires then.

Get some Taylor wires.
