Car broke down what do you think??

I was driving on the parkway in 4th gear at about 3000rpm as I gave it more gas it would rev fast for a second then the rpm's would drop and no responce from the throttle unless I tapped the gas. Then the car would drive but make a spuddering sound. If I let go of the gas the car would stall. When I went to start the car it would start for a second then stall. If I started it and pumped the gas it would start but make that spuddering sound and I could actually move the car. Does anyone have any idea what this can be I hope it's not too big of a problem????

With all these problems.. you should have a CEL. If so what are they?

without a CEL it's a guessing game. I would clean the MAF and throttle body. See what happens.

it doesn't sound promising. When my engine let go I didn't throw a CEL but if your CEL is on pull the codes anyway. It sounds like car is starving for fuel - maybe a fuel pump issue?
