Exclamation Lose of power after ignition????????

Out of the blue leaving the store I turned the key and truck started to lose power. It starts up norm and then it goes right down. Does not shut off and still revs up when hitting the gas.What are the possible causes and fixes? Thanks

Hammers fav thing with those engines are cracked pleniums leaking into the engine. Maybe he can chime in and give more info. Where was the last time it had a complete tune up? Plugs, wires, cap and rotor, air filter?
