Feels lik, e it is going to die, makes a bogging/backfiring noise and even jerks a bit. Feels like it is going to stall once I hit 35mph. It has a lot of miles, but I take very good care of her. Oil is changed regularly, plugs changed out yearly - wires are 2 years old, idler pulley 2 years old, replace serpentine belt this weekend, pvc valve and hose are new too. Cannot figure it out, scared to drive her.

That is really quick, like you are getting no water flow at all. Make sure that a radiator hose is not collapsing enough to stop the flow. If possible on that model, take off the radiator cap and shine a light to see if the water passages in the radiator are clogged up with rust or sediment. If this started after the new thermostat was installed, make sure it was not put in backwards.

they might have not put the proper gap on the plugs..and might have over filled the engine with too much oil..

Hi Marla Curtis, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box? The problem is usually one of the sensors. Maf, map, tps or pedal position sensor. If the engine light is on, have the computer scanned to extract the trouble codes. If you post them here, we can help diagnose.
