I would check the mass air flow 9maf) sensor and the throttle position sensor(tps)! is the check engine light on?
Testimonial: "i'll do that. thanks for the advice. hope i'm able to get it done for a reasonable price. i love this car."
well the maint. light don't matter it just reminds you you need to change oil , tire , belts ect... but the check engine light most likely will tel you whats going on! find a shop that has the old software like the snap-on red brick mt-2500 scanner and they can help you find out what sensor and save alot of money guessing! good luck
good luck man!
yep a coolant sensor that is stuck thinking it's cold will tell the computer it's cold and inrich'n the fuel like a choke and bog the motor till you give it enough air flow and rpm! sounds like you found your issue and why i suggested to get it scanned saves alot of time and guess work. good luck man and i hope you make out alright!

I would have your emissions checked - it sounds as if you may have a clogged catalytic converter. The most common symptom of this is a considerable loss of power.

ye th check engine light is on as well as the maint reqd light
i had a diagnostic ran on the car and it came back with the trouble code for the engine coolant temperature sensor so i'm going to replace that since it's pretty cheap and probably still check out the catalytic convertor just to be safe. thanks for the help
