Choppy Idle, No Power... HELP ME!!

Okay, I am trying to get this figured out soon... so if somebody can give me some help it would be much appreciated. I have the car in the garage, im trying to troubleshoot it.

Tonight I went to Jack in the box and I was sitting in the drive through when my idle suddenly changed. It seemed like only one of the rotors was firing. The RPMs never changed at all, it still idles at the same RPMs, but the exhaust sounds like its firing half as much. Then when I headed home, I had barely any power, maybe 275 to 300 at the most. Basically, If I step on it, it feels like I have half as much power.

Please help me, Im standing by waiting for replies.

Thanks

id like to add that the car starts up immediatley with the turn of the key, then slowly increases to the 900 rpm idle.

usually it would take a few cranks, start, jump to about 1300 rpms, then slowly go down to 900 rpms.

It also holds a good idle, and completley revs out to 8500 RPMs.
