You gotta give us more than that. At least tell us what year you have and what engine you got.

What maintenance has been done to it? When was the last time you did a tune up and changed spark plugs? Cleaned the throttle body? Any water in the gas? How long as it been like this?

You need to be as informative and descriptive as humanly possible.

Sounds like the lock-up torque converter clutch is partially engaged. Possibly a bad solenoid or other internal issues. Have you scanned for codes?
