It sounds like you are in 'Limp Mode'. The computer has identified a fault and limits power to protect it. You are on the cusp of OB1 and OBD2 (1994 - 1996) but I think yours is OBD2.
So you need an auto electrician to connect a professional grade scan tool computer and read the DTCs. Solve the problems with diagnostics in 30 minutes.
I'd start with a thorough check of all your engine area harness connections making sure the multi plugs are properly home. Then any ground cables for a good clean connection. Has it had any work recently that could lead to a trapped part of the harness? I can't say whether the poor running is part of the electrical gremlins but as most engines have lots of electrical devices, who knows.
To find if it's the engine or the gearbox's fault do this: put it in Neutral, press hard on the brake and do a swift kick on the gas pedal. If the engine revs the same then it's his fault (check the fuel pump and filter), if it speeds up it's the gearbox (most likely low or burned transmission oil).
