well sounds like one of 2 things, spark plug wire came loose or something to that effect or a similar thing happened to your primary injectors. When was the last time you put a new fuel filter in?

Check your TPS, hopefully Erik and I can convince you via horror stories to check it out.

You may be in "limp home" mode. The car will try and save itself by only letting you rev to about 3k. I'm not exactly sure what problems lead to this; but somebody here knows.

i've been having the same problem... so my dad has a spark plug tester i put it on the top holes and there was spark then i put it on the bottom and one didnt and the other one was blinking. so i came to the conclusion that the coil was messed up. hopefully getting one from the junkyard today.....
