I put my foot down on the accelerator and it lost power
SOURCE: sluggish acceleration traction light comes on
this must be a 2.3 miller cycle. it is going into "limp home" mode. when this happens, it wont rev over about 3k, and tcs off/tcs lites come on. it feels a lot like fuel cut. probably the check engine lite is also on, and what codes are stored? most common is P1525/26 and 1540, which are the solenoids that control the abv. the abv controls boost, and when this valve is not working proplerly, the pcm stops communication with tcm, and it goes limp home. if you can locate the solenoids, they are on the back of the engine, right next to the egr valve. from right to left, you need to look at the second and forth. you need to ohm them when they are hot. normal is around 26. if they are over 30, or 0, they are bad. there are other possibilities, but this is most common
SOURCE: sometimes when starting it will stall if I take my
try cleaning the throttle plate and the iac motor that should do it

Hi!!
Take vehicle to Jiffy Lube or similar oil change place and have them change the differential oil, ask them to check for metal shavings. Also ask to have an additive or add the type of fluid that will help to reduce or remove the noise.
Good Luck!!
