Sounds as if something internal in the engine let loose. You could have a valve, piston, rod, or a bearing problem. All are major engine problems so you should take it to a good mechanic and have it checked.

Pulsated break peddle happen then abs light came on then awd light came one and now losses power going up hill or pushing the gas to fast from a stop losses power ,like it cuts out

pulsating brake pedal indicates that the ABS is active under brakes whether it is required or not
from the rest I would first have a fault scan done to find any faulty sensors
Try replacing the ECM with a known good unit as the scan fault readings may reveal a problem ECM

sounds like you might have lost traction on one of the drive tires momentarily this could have been caused by moisture or oil on the road when you took off, if it only happened once don't worry about it

I have a 99 Alero and it is missing out bad. It sputters when you drive and it dies when you accelerate. The car has a bad smell also. The gas peddle goes to the floor but the car don't go. Any ideas??

bad smell kind of like rotten eggs? if yes, your catalytic converter is bad, it plugged up and is now restricting exhaust flow causing power loss.

1999 rodeo 6 cyl

hello from what you explained i take it theres no check engine lights on what it sounds like is a basic increase on your idle screw get somone to help push pedal down underhood look to see where gas cable pulls back when gas pedals appled have them release slowly now watch where it stops against a set screw that is your adjustment rpm range should be somewhere between 750-900 rpm depending on vehicle if this doesnt solve most likely tps sensor{ throttle position sensor} goodluck
