What does it means when

Your 7 doesn't wants to accelerate at 1st, 2nd, 3th, 4th, and 5th gear? No power what so ever. Can can I do?
I can't even merge on the freeway without people slow down for me.

Umm...be more specific. Did this just happen? Anything else you have noticed?

Check compression and check for clogged cats first...

Well, my top speed is 80mph. Does that tell you anything?

How does it run? Just sluggish or does it stutter and shake? Does it smoke at all? What kind of mileage are you getting?

I would check spark plugs, plug wires and coils first.

I had this problem a few months ago (my top speed was 50mph at 2000 rpm!). Check and adjust your TPS. If that doen't work you might have to replace it (I did).
