Does your car smoke white? Could be an internal coolant leak caused by a cracked sleeve or headgasket.

Perform a complete tune, if that doesn't help then perform a compression test and leak down test. That will tell you a lot about the condition of your motor.

x2. Do a compression check and a leakdown test. That will answer your questions quick.
