Check your oil, is it the color of a milkshake? Check your plugs and  
coolant too. Did you loose any coolant?

Sounds like a blown head gasket.

Coolant is clean and green and full, oil is clear and fresh as I did
an oil change about 2 weeks before the problem occured....  Thanks for
the feedback   :)      need more though      can it be a sensor of
some sort  IE   Maf?  or  02   ?       the plugs were slightly black
and greasy, and gassy smelling,   very gassy  !
