do you have enough tranny fluid? definitely check that, cuz you might not have enough pressure in the lines.

as for the loss of power, my 2.3 doesn't even start on its own, and only runs on #4 when i pushstart it. the reason? head gasket that's completely fucked. combine that with bad piston rings, and you have the reason i'm replacing the engine with that of a '90 LX 2.3

point being, do compression and cylinder leakage tests, see where air is escaping. if your coolant level drops consistently, you have coolant entering the combustion chambers, another of my problems.

good luck =)
