    sounds like somthing that would happen with bad gas(water in tank), but i guess because it was sudden that dosent sound right. Also what you said about your intake, obviously vaccum problems can cause a major issue, that might be worth checking out as well, a possible big leak somewhere?

    if you've been suspecting your cat is going bad then that is probobly the culprit (bad cat). I had the same problem about a year ago i went to work the car was driving fine but when i got off i started to drive and the motor felt like i had ZERO power i could floor it and maybe reach 40 mph in like a minute LOL. Get a friend to rev your car and see if it sounds any different and put your hand near your exhaust to see if it feels like theres barely any exhaust coming out as well, and look for black residue around your muffler cutout. Hope that helps
