I personally dont think your head gaskets bad it doesent sound like the radiator caused it if it dident overheat. The radiator might just have cracked because its one of the plastic ones they get old and weather also has a big effect on them. if you really want to know if its bad you can buy the tester at the auto parts store and eric has a video on how to do it. i found some on amazon cheap its called a Combustion Leak Detector and you just put it where the radiator cap is pour the liquid in it and look at the color that will tell you if there’s exhaust gasses in the cooling system which means a bad head gasket.

Check your gas tank on my buddy’s Mazda b4000 someone decided to put sand in his gas tank and he had the same problems, normal idle but when you get on it it boggs because the filter on the sending unit gets clogged. we over complicated everything and ended up listening to another friend who told us it was spark and mass air sensor. sure enough we dropped the tank and found sand.
