No SES light...or did you scan it and found no codes?

Right off...sounds like a dirty fuel filter or injectors.

Dies it accelerate normally if you do a hard run, and cruise at say 50-60mph normally.

did this start all of a sudden or has it been building up to this?

Dirty fuel injector(s)
fouled plugs
dirty MAF

failing 02 sensors can also cause some problems like that...you will not necassarily get an SES light or a code either. Usually when they actually fail you get the light. To see if they are working properly will take a real OBDII scanner that the dealers use.

Then something is probably dirty.

Clean the MAF, change the plugs, run a full can of Sea Foam in 1/4 tank of gas.
