It will run for a sec, then just stop. I have to keep my foot two the floor wsith the gas pedal to even get it to do that. Befor it did that it was going real slow in all the gears and it would ask me to shift early (on the control pannel) and sound as if it needed it? Can you help me out?

I think the best place to start is a compression test..
