Default Car wont boost

Hi guys,
I was out driving today and was booting it in third and when i put my foot on the clutch to change to fourth the car jolted forward hard like I hit boost cut and the engine cut out, so I pulled over and started it up car seemed fine but check engine light was on and the car was idling a little rough, Then while driving it home slowly I put my foot down in any gear and it would hit about 6 pound then the car would just shutter and not go sort of like it was hitting rev limiter. any help would be greatly appreciated. I think somthing might be broken

thanks
will

i would also say u maybe knocked a pipe loose. might be enough just to get u moving but not enough to hold pressure.

happened to me after picking my car up from a workshop and they left a clamp loose lucky i had a water hose holding pipe in place.
