Sound,s like you are loosing fuel,check fuel filter,and your fuel pump,this can be done by checking the fuel pressure.

No it's not the fuel. I didn't explain well if enough, the battery died and when I jumped it all the idiot lights came on, and then it had no acceleration you'd hit the pedal and it would do nothing but kept running. Then it just died. So I went thru all electronics and all was good. Like fuses and what not so I reset the system them everything worked again. No idiot lights on acceleration worked now it's doing it again. Could be alternator?

I didn't have this problem on this car, however I did on another. .Turned out to be a collapsed gas filter..may want to check into it.
