I hate to be the pessimist, but it sounds like you ate a seal, and have lost compression....

at47, I agree with fatboy7. I really sounds like you blew a apex seal, that means you have to get a new motor. I would hightly recommend you jump on top of thing while your car is in the shop(get to learning). Also use the search it help sometimes.
But you said its only when you arent on the gas? Then you might have another case. Does the feel weak when your on the gas? What engine manangment are youi using(ecu=haltech,aem,apex pfc ect ect..)
