Wish I could help but I didn't even know what horsepower was until a few years ago. [:(]

I'm worse than women when it comes to knowing about cars. I blame the free maintainence programs because they do all that work for you hehe...

Most likely a busted engine mount. Had the same symtoms with my Jeep.
As for smelling antifreeze, that's a heater core leaking. Many dealership $$$$ Unless you have the time and mechanical ability to take on the task.
