Default chugging

this morning on my way to class, my car didn't want to accelerate when i wanted it to. it would occcasionally accelaerate, but it would then lose acceleration a few moments later. i checked my engine temp gauge and it was at where it normally is at when i drive

so i guess my question is, what is wrong?

thanks
evil.

sounds like you could have bad gas or water in your tank...either that or your fuel system is somehow going out (either fuel pump or faulty injectors)...
