How is oil and/or coolant consumption? Any signs of smoking on idle (white) or on WOT? (dark/blue)? I've done two head gaskets in 18 months and along with those symptoms my car was sluggish off the mark. Maybe ask for a teekay test to be done before hours of troubleshooting other things. That will be cheap.
