Car ran fine forever then one day its sputtering like its missing or out of gas. Step on the pedal and bogs and gags and stalls almost. Put it neutral and idols and runs fine. What the heck is this

When a information sensor goes bad. The computer will inturn retard the timing of the vehicle according to the info that the bad sensor is giving it. So before we even go foward we need to have that coolant level sensor checked and replaced, because it can actually be the reason why your car is running bad. While that is being done I suggest a throttlebody cleaning and an airfilter change. The throttle plate may be sticking causing a bad idle and driveability problems. I wouldnt panic. As far as the car being ruined. These problems are not indicators of a big problem unless of course the head gasket is blown.
