has there been other problems that could be related?

it sounds like your low on transmision fluid.
if your has a dip stick check it when hot in park with the engine running and just put some auto trans fluid in.
if yours doesnt have a dip stick you will need to take it and get it serviced

in your case i would say your fuel pump is about to s**t itself. or the pick up in the tank is broken or something
