The engine wants to turn over, battery is good every time it gets up to about 30-40 miles an hour the engine runs really sluggish to an eventual stall every time

Does the engine restart? Have you checked fuel pump pressure? Have you checked for spark?

Check fuel pump pressure. Also, check to make sure you are still getting spark when it won't start.
