Don,t panic sounds like its starving for fuel . Did you change both filters. If you did it could be a restriction in the fuel line. I have had the same thing happen to me on my older cars. Wind up changing the fuel filters a couple of times before it clean out the tank. The tranny will do exactlly that if it straves for fuel
