while driving, yesterday it was spittering and sputtering and wouldn't go over 40 mph and had no power. died several times. battery died, replaced that and did no good. I just had all gaskets from the head gaskets up replaced, along with remanufactured heads, spark plugs and wires.

Usually if problem under load look for a restriction. Air filter--fuel filter--clogged exhaust. Check fuel pressure. Check for applicable trouble codes. Some of the national brand auto stores will check codes for free. To check codes, yourself, you need an obd2 code reader.
