is the engine acting normal? is it bogging? any other symptoms?

Actually, although unlikely, the coolant temp sensor could potentially cause the problem. If this sensor isnt working properly, the car will run in safe mode which in turn will make it feel like ass.

Safe mode will not do this. But hey, its worth the try, its better just to be clear and out of doubt, check the sensor.
