check your ignition timing and your exhaust system to make sure it is not plugged

To me it sounds like the camshaft is flat on one of its lobes, I would remove the valve covers and disable the fuel pump. Then crank the engine over while watching the valve train, look fo the rocker that is moving very little, here is a gide that can help as well.
