Question: When car accelerates it loses power but engine keeps running

I restart the engine and it moves again for about 1 1/2 miles then the same problem happens. I have replaced the fuel pump in the fuel tank and the fuel filter. It acts like it's starving for fuel but it can't be because the engines stays running. I've checked the transmission and it all looks good but could it be some type of transmission problem? What else can I check? Help?
