Hi Rustin.... you could have one of several problems...do you have axcess to a scan tool...if you do, install it and see what codes come up...i would suspect bad 02 sensors and / or plugged cat converter. bad inj. bad ECM... bad fuel pressure regulator....the codes from the computer will send you in the right direction.... hope this helps
