Default 95 Honda Civic Overheated and now falters

95 Honda Civic started overheated for a few weeks because of a bad cooling fan. It overheated real bad about 3 weeks ago and started spewing coolant from the seal between the head gasket and the engine block. It has always had a tendancy to eat up coolant (about 1 reserve tank per week). Now, after fixing the cooling fan it has been running fine for about a week. Two days ago it started to falter when I accelerate like it has a bad sparkplug or something. There are no signs of water in the oil. Timing belt, water pump etc. changed out about 1 year ago. Could it be a clogged fuel line, bad spark, bad cables, bad distributor cap, clogged fuel fliter, blown head gasket? Am I buring coolant in the chamber? Is there a way I can diagnose the problem without spending alot of money?

You better replace the head gasket (it's leaking).
