Vehicle fails to accelerate

Just as I reached my driveway, my car maintained power, but failed to accelerate. I coasted into my driveway. Now when I crank, it starts fine. However I press the accelerator the engine doesn't rev. After approx 30 seconds, the engine will cut off. AC and radio continue to play and function.
