Angry I've lost my Power!!!!

Hey all, hopefully someone will be able to help me. I have a stock 93 DX, it has about 136600 clicks on it. Up until a few days ago it ran perfectly fine, but now it wont rev above 4300rpm, you get it up there and it wont move, worse still the powerloss is felt all the way down the line. It will surge a bit around 3500. Please give me some ideas on what this could be, because it's been getting worse!!! And I need my car!!!
thx, in advance guys.

Have you checked the plugs and wires? One of my wires fell off when I was driving and I had similar problems...

turns out it was either the cat or the presilencer. when i was gettin on the interstate this morning i heard a strange sound then looked behind me and saw a small cloud of crap that had just come out of my muffler (it's one of those straight through dual tip ones). after that happened i got almost all of my power back, there's still a little blockage but i fix that right up this weekend.
