Unhappy low performance/dangerously slow acceleration advice needed

since youall were so helpful with my last issue, i have another one that might be more up your alley!

the car is VERY slow, not just 60 some horsepower pushing a 3500 pound car slow, it is obviously something out of whack!

it only occurs when the engine is fully warm and when starting from a dead stop, rolling stops do not effect it.

what it does is the engine basically just idles, regardless to the accelerator pedal position. i have had to change my teavel routes so i can deal with it, but now i have a week off for summer break and want to fix it before classes begin again.

the engine runs like a top and, dare i say it, is quiet and smooth. it was purchased in january with 129k on it and i have since put 6k on it to total 135k. will a timing chain effect performance like this? im willing to bet that it hasnt been changed before. but maybe it has, all the filters on the engine were OE, someone cared for the car, but didnt leave the records in the vehicle. so let the thinking begin!

any help would be appreaciated and thanks in advance!
