You need to be more descriptive.... Your basically saying "something is broken, be a mind reader and tell me what it is"

1. What is the difference in driveability?
2. Any check engine lights?
3. Up on current mantainence?
4. have any opinions given by a mechanic who has seen it in person yet??
5. At what point did you notice the problem arise, and did you do anything to the car differently before it started.

Well it started overnight. My check engine light popped on, then it became virtually powerless. It smells likegas, as if its flooding out. I have changed the complete gas line and filter from the tank to the motor. Plugs, and wires. I don't know what it could be. I bought a used ecu that matched up with mine. Once I installed the used onemy car would not start at all, so I put my original back and it started. Is it my ecu thats just bad?

First, try unplugging the MAF while it's idling and see what happens.
Also try resetting the ECU by disconnecting the negative battery cable and see if that does anything.
O2 sensors?
Coils?
Pull the codes and see what you can find....
