hey i have a 2nd gen gxl with 112,000 miles on it and oil is always changed every 3,000 miles. Well to get to the point i was driving one day and all the sudden when i was accelerating from a red light alittle faster than traffic my car decided to go ahead and bog down horribly and act as if i was accelerating in 3rd instead of first gear. The car is extremely slow accelerating and sounds horrible. It also tends to die when left to ideal by itself. I have tried replacing spark plugs but still nothing. Please help your my only hope thanks matt.
