Help! Mysterious running problem has me scared! 200 1987

Can anyone help me with an ongoing problem!?! Yesterday I drove my 240 wagon w/194k on a 20 mile drive. It was running fine until I put gas and fuel injector additive in. From that point on, it bucked and coughed non-stop and I couldn't accelate - I couldn't get over 20 mph/2nd gear. This continued the whole way to my class. When I left 6 hours later, expecting the same, it drove perfectly fine! A few days back, it did the same thing for a few miles and stopped (thus the use of injector additive). I'm scared to risk taking it on the highway. My mechanic has within the past 6 months replaced the fuel pump. Note:I am in Boston and we have been in a deep freeze the last two weeks. Any thoughts before I schedule with my mechanic?
