I had this happen to me with the pickup. The car slowed down and was laboring. I thought I hurt the engine. Pulled it down and did a freshen up. The engine was perfect when we took it apart. When I went to start the car after the engine was back in and it would not start. Turned out the pick up was bad on the crank trigger. Changed that out and the car started right up.
