My D16W4 aerodeck has developed a few issues recently, considerable loss of power at higher rpm all of a sudden which has only gotten worse, and stalling when the brakes are applied hard at low speeds as well as just driving it gently and then rolling to a stop the idle drops hard and almost cuts out or it just cuys out, it overheated yesterday morning and cut out in slow traffic after about 10 minutes at 60 on the dual carriageway, limped it back home once it had cooled down and didnt seem to overheat after but I havent driven it since except just to try and diagnose whether the stalling at low speeds and braking is a vacuum leak on the brake booster, booster vac line or master cylinder even but the booster seems to be working alright and the vac line from the intake still has vacuum so im guessing its not the line or the check valve inside.
Would be great to determine if these issue are fixable without too much headache (hopefully not headgasket causing the overheating).
Any help at all is appreciated, I really would love to keep the car on the road and usable as its only on 128k miles and if its too much of a headache i'll have to shelf it and use it for a more serious project (maybe a k swap)
