dealing with slow acceleration and rough

automatic transmission any suggestions for
me?

How is your acceleration of engine when in park or neutral? If you experience this only while in gear driving, there may be an issue with timing or a sensor causing decreased engine output, hard to be sure without driving it myself.

You may have an issue with fuel delivery, such as clogged fuel filter, dirty injectors, etc..
