This can be a weak fuel pump but we should runt he codes to see if any are stored, this video will show you how.

Can you tell if the engine is misfiring? If so this will be the problem, when is the last time the engine was tuned up? A bad ignition coil or shorted spark plug can cause low engine power but the car should have a code for this. Here is a low engine power troubleshooting video.
