That would be your catalytic converter burning up. Happened to my dad in his '85 Chevy van. Most likely why you are sputtering the way you are.

Well, your new clue makes me think you should be looking at your O2 sensor and your CAT, at the very least. A bad O2 sensor will certainly cause loss of power and a clogged or failing CAT just makes it worse.

I can't say that those are the only problems, but until you address them, it will be hard to verify what else may be wrong.

Do you have any way to get a code scan? Access to anyone with an OBD1 scanner?
