so im driving along, just crusing in 5th gear, when i feel a dip in power. the car starts bog. the more i try to give it gas the more it bogs down. So when i tried to start it up again it just keeps cranking and never catches.

this has happened before, and i took it to my "mechanic", out of time restrictions, and he replaced a few things. but im probably not taking it back to him. So i really could use some insight. ive replaced. the distb cap and rotor, the alternator, the starter, and the spark plugs recently. i dont mind checking them again.

i really need to get this thing fixed. i have an interview next week and its the first one ive had in 5months....
