I don't post here too often,and I'm not even sure where I would begin to search for this, but I'm having an issue. (If its been posted already please just point me in the right direction, I'm not exactly in the mood to be flamed).

So I'm driving around today running some errands. I live in a small town so if I drove 80 miles I'd be really surprised. Anyway all is fine, until I stop at starbucks to grab a coffee; when I get in the car to go home, I make it about half a mile down the road and my car starts bucking (like a mechanical bull) and slowing down even if I floor it. So I get up to the next parking lot, park it shut it of for about 5 mins, start it back up and go. No sooner do I make it about another half mile does the same thing start up again except worse. The car will rev in neutral as high as you can push it, but if the clutch is engaged it will only rev between about 2.5-3k and its really choppy. It will drive fine below about 20mph as long as I'm riding the clutch (which is a really good workout when you're about 15 miles from home) and the fastest I could get it to go without shaking too bad is between 15-20 mph in third. This happened to me before about a year ago in Atlanta, and by the time it got on the tow truck and to a shop it was fine, and the car made it to north Florida before I saw any problems again.

I'm open to sugestions on possible problems, the car has recently had jsut about every sensor replaced, and six different mechanics could find nothing wrong with the motor after the Atlanta incident. The car is a '95 s14.
