Trisha,
Though it sounds like you really do have a sludge problem the poor running is not being caused by the sludge.
I had a similar problem that after running the engine hard and then letting it sit for 20 - 30 minutes it would be hard to start and ran very poorly with no power for 3-4 minutes. What it was as it turned out was severe deposits on the back of the intake valves and injectors. I went through the following fix that worked well.
First I got three cans of "Sea Foam" gas treatment. Then when the tank was half full I added one can and ran the tank until almost empty. I pun in another can and added 10 gallons of gas. i ran this to almost empty and added the third can and put in 10 gallons of gas and ran until almost empty then filled up as normal. The problem started to get better after the fist 100-150 miles but I completed the treatment and now it runs like a fine watch.
Good luck!
