car won't start :(

[ac97gt]

this morning my car was running beauitfully, two hour ride home on the highway, parked it in the parking lot, all seemed well. went out like 7 hours later, tried to start it and it stalled out right away. everytime you start it, it stalls out right away. if you start it and give it gas right away it will try hard to rev up, then finally it will rev and as long as you keep giving it alot of gas you can get it to rev... but it has like NO power at all. if you hold the gas down pretty far you can get it to simulate like an idle, but you have to hold the gas alot, and again, no power at all. when you push the gas alot and get it to rev, it SOUNDS ok, like it sounds real smooth and pretty much like it should sound, and even when my friend held the throttle to simulate an idle, inside the car i thought it was fixed, but when he let go, it stalled right out still.

i dont know a real lot about cars, but the best analogy i can give to explain the problem is like a parking brake. its like theres a parking brake on the engine. you know when you drive with your e-brake on, its like you have no power and it doesnt wanna run right at all, thats what it feels like, an e-brake on the engine, you need to give extra gas to get it to even stay on, and it has no power. since it had been raining my first thought was maybe somethin in the distributer or something, but it all looks dry down there. other thoughts maybe fuel filter, fuel pump?

i dont know what to do... any suggestions please?
