Are you running the stock MAF, or do you have an aftermarket intake?

betting it's an auto tranny... I'll venture to say the tranny or torque converter is hammered (possibly the tranny pump). If it's a manual... then your clutch is probably shot. Thing is... clutches usually fail kinda gradually so that's why I bet you drive an auto trans car.

Good luck.
