sounds like you might have distrubutor problems...its not advancing correctly, I had one go out on the highway between Kingman and Lake Havasu City AZ....long trip at 20 mph floored! it was actually a 2.8 ford motor
 
When it creeps up to 15 MPH, is the engine running smoothly, running rough, coughing and spitting? What?

What transmission and what gear are you in?

Is it possible you have it in 4WD low range?
 
What is the rpm at 15mph ?

do u know how i can fix it im new to this.....

Replace the distributor...try a junk yard one first....they dont go out often but when they do It sounds just like what you are going through...check to see if the distrubutor is advancing


actually I think I have one sitting here in a box...Let me check in the morning....If so pay shipping and its yours. PM me if ya dont find one local.
