No Heat, when the heat is turned on, the A/C constantly blows ice cold. Changed the thermostat and no difference. Any ideas of where to look next?? Also, sometimes when traveling over 40 mph the car will bog down and slows down and wont go over 25 mph. When this happens there is a strong nasty exhaust smell but after the car is turned off even for just a second, it runs fine. Im thinking either some kind of sensor, or possibly something in the fuel system??

no heat inthe car is usually due to somebody turn off the hot water supply into the cabinet. i'm guessing the engine temperature is high when you expect to have some hot air in the car.
clogged fuel filter is a possiblity. If the catalic converter clouged you cannot open it by sitting there. to test catalic converter, put it in neutor and floor the gass. if the engine revs at high rpms then the catalic converter is ok. if not, ie does not go above lets say 3000 rpm then you have a catalitic converter problem.
I donot know why you have the smell. It is possible that you dump to much gass into the cylinders also. It might be a faulty injector problem also. It might be the reason why the car loses power above 40 mph.
good luck.
