There are a couple things it could be. I am a mechanic, and have my own shop. I have found in most cases like this the catalytic converter is stopped up. You can go to some exhaust shops and they can test this for free only takes about 5 minutes. Also check your fuel filter. Cheap part and not to hard to replace. If you pull the old one. You should be able to blow thru it easily. If not it's stopped up. Secondly pull your transmission dip stick. Does the fluid smell burned and look for metal shavings in the fluid. A used transmission should run around 6-900.00 and the labor should be no more than 300.00 that would be your best route. Check these first. Good Luck Christine

You have a bad alternator and your on your last bit of battery power. The spark will shortly be all gone, and no firing in any cylinder is on it's way.

Hopefully your check engine light came on or diagnostic error codes were stored in your computer when the failure occurred. Since it's so easy to read the error codes out on OBD-I vintage cars (OBD-II started in 1996 and newer cars), you should do that yourself first. You can buy a simple code readout device that plugs into the harness located on top of the driver's side wheel well under the hood (see reference link below).

Does the car drive differently in another gear? Sounds like the engine has lots power because of decompression. You need to get a pressure test done, or you just need a complete tune up(cap, rotor, coil, plugs, wires, filters, oil change)
