Could be a big vacuum leak or low compression. Test compression first and rule it out if you're unfamiliar with the car. Any additional info on how the car ran prior to this?

Also check the map sensor hose. It's against the firewall above the oil filter. If that's disconnected from the manifold it will act like a blown motor.
