Default engine not revving properly (auto trans)

i have a 96 probe with 70000 miles on it. i was driving on the highway and once i reached 60mph the motor started sputtering and refused to accelerate beyond that. i pumped the gas pedal and was able to get it to 70mph before i had to slow down. later on i was trying to give the car some gas and the speed kept dropping. i had to pull over shut down and restart the engine. also when i floor the pedal while the car is in park the rpm doesnt increase until after about 5 seconds of me holding down the accelerator all the way. im not really a car guy and i tried to explain it as best as possible. any ideas on what the problem can be?
