how many miles and yes it sounds exactly like transmission slippage, without driving it myself its kinda hard to say though. see if anyone knows the stall speed for the converter. when you find that out put the car in drive and mash the brake with all your power and hit the gas to the floor the engine should rev to your approximate stall speed if it is significantly higher than that means that there is prolly an internal fault in the transmission for which you will need to find a professional. i would suggest you take it to a pro anyways. by the way, have you recently had your transmission serviced if not then check the color smell and feel of the trans fluid.

Change your MAF for now and see what happen.And then reset your ECU.
It happen to me too,same thing you said.

If that did not solve the problem then I don't know ,ineed to see and test the car in person to say what is wrong.
