If it cranks up and then stalls, that sounds like a serious vacuum leak. Sluggish and no power sounds like you might have some restriction in you exhaust system.. Clogged cat maybe?

check all the sensors. Make sure there is enough coolant and water in the cooling system. Did you do a full tuneup yet?if not it might fix your problem
