Are you sure the transmission is not the problem?
Check your brakes too to see if they are really hot after driving. Sometimes the brake calipers or master cylinder will lock and that will feel like no power from the engine.
The engine may be fine.

Lots of things come to mind...

Fuel Filter, MAF sensor, clogged cats (don't always throw a code right away), as already mentioned, brakes, Tranny, the possibilities are endless... Or so it seems when it is happening to you...
