hey also check that ur ect sensor (engine coolant temperature) isnt faulty cuzi had the same problem with my 94 gt. my car started overheating occasoinally and my car felt so slugish. that sensor sends signal to the pcm with basically tells the fan when to kick in, and the injectors wont spraylike they should.

Check your upper lower Radiator Hose's see if theres no cracks cuts or holes!!!

if it is your hoses youll see steam coming from the motor some times cause the cold Coolant hits a HOT engine!!!

Do a compression check to confirm your blown head gaskets....

Sorry for not replying earlier but I had no access to a computer. I had a friend of the family who is a mechanic take a look at the car. Turns out it isn't a blown head gasket or anything you'd expect, the condenser "fins" are all bent and clogged with the bugs I had accumulated on my 8 hour road trip. I went in there first with an air compressor and later with a pressure washer and blew out most of the bugs and the car runs a lot better now, but not perfect because the "fins" are still bent.
