Start with a timing check, at higher miles the timing chain plastic guides wear and cause multiple misfire and driveability concerns...of course check the obvious, spark plugs, plug wires,c.o.p,fuel pressure..all basics. .ck engine light on?

as for the rattling sound have you checked the heat shield on the catalytic converter, mine was loose and was causing a rattling sound when it was at idle, and would go away as the rpm's increased.

SOURCE: 1993 Ford Explorer bogging down

This is not a bogging down problem if the engine is reving up it sounds like you have a very badley slipping tourk converter or you have a band in your tranny slipping and that is why you can go for a little while longer if you shut it off

SOURCE: 1976 Ford F150 Bogs down when accelerater is pressed.

if it has a converter on it.....it may be stopped up, but before you replace it have the fuel pump checked, as it may not be getting enough gas at higher rpms. It will start and idle fine, but starve out when you press the pedal. Have you changed the fuel filter?That will cause the same problem.....

Start by checking for vacuum leaks, compression then a scan for fault codes. One of those should turn up a problem

Idles rough and dies out

One ting comes to mind with your description. The throttle position sensor. They are NOT waterproof and if it got wet, it is shot.
