another easy possibility
sounds like it could be a bad plug wire. Except for the events leading up to the problem (shreeking, feels like a flat) the kicking symptom is very similar to what happened to my GTi. I had one of my cables (new ones too) broken and arcing against the head, causing bucking under acceleration, especially at higher RPM. Though my problem also exhibited itself sometimes at lower rpm. It felt like it was "cutting out"
Shreiking to me usually sounds like a belt problem. That combined with a feeling of a flat tire sounds like it could be power steering type of problem...but that doesn't explain the engine problems. Maybe you lost a belt?
Guys, is there a belt that runs the power steering that would affect his engine as well?? Sorry for my ignorance. Just wanted to throw some more ideas out there.
Good luck, a good shop will figure it out.
