It was running about 220 in traffic and on the highway at 90 outside. Anyway to test the clutch? Is it possible that it's running hot because of it doesn't have the shoud for the clutch fan?

Yes. Without the shroud the fan can't full any air actually through the radiator.

What can I do to make my exhaust from dampening up brand new floor pan and carpet on passenger front floor, that is the only one that is containing moisture, is it exhaust?

-Rough idle
-random rought throttle responses off green light/stop signs
-Runs smooth while accelerating after initial start to roll.
-Sometimes it almost dies when I let off the brake and give it moderate gas off a light, it will bog down for a split second like it died then take off as normal operation.
Heres what iv done in past 1000 miles with this issue not resolving it:
-New IAC.
-New adjusted TPS.
-Throttle set screw adjusted awhile back before this issue.
-New cap rotor plugs wires.
-Seafoam and Rena premium gas.
-Adjusted Transmission kickdown cable thing.
I was thinking possible map, oxygen sensor or cps. But I dont want to just throw $150 in sensors at it if I dont have to. Where should I start?
