You could have a really bad intake leak or vacuum leak. On most other cars the first thing you'd look at would be the fuel filter or the air filter and look for restriction but in this case I'll guess that you have a cracked air intake hose.
Test it out by spraying starter fluid all over the intake pipes and seeing if the revs increase

Will it rev freely in neutral? If not, it could be a plugged cat.
