My first guess.
MAF sensor.
1 of the coils took a crap

Unplug the MAF and see if it runs any different.
If it doesn't or dies right away, then check for spark on all wires.

What RPM can the car get to under full throttle while parked. Or, does the car get to about 35-55 under acceleration and then not accelerate any more?

Another possibility is a blown catalytic converter where the honeycomb material has clogged the muffler.

I think a easy way to test that is simply put your hand over your mufflers lol.

The cats are red hot because there is tons of fuel in them.
