check your coil you can get one from AZ for less than $15 but this wont cause the car to overheat. make sure you dont have any trash blocking the radiator. let me think some more im sure more will come to me lol but the sluggish thing could be plugs and or wires, its hard to really say. just need to start looking at these things and see what kind of shape there in and when they where last replaced

Put in some new plugs and wires. Might as well get a new coil while you are at since it's cheap.
Check your fuel pressure and see what it's doing under load.
If your car is still sluggish after that, it might mean that you need a new opti.
Also, the overheating thing should be unrelated. Make sure that your cooling system is fully bled.
