look for signs of engine wear. eg, consuming engine oil, smoke on first start in morning, hard cold starting etc etc.
use liqui moly injector cleaner and engine flush for slightly prolonged duration. after treatments change engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, clean out the filter sock on the fuel pump if it has it (inside the fuel tank i think). I had a problem almost like yours in my 1.5L 95 corolla and it turned out to be fuel supply issue - clogged up sock filter in the fuel tank.
flush out the radiator and fill it with proper coolant, low level or water only will cause gaseous areas to form and will mess up engine temp. readings that the ecu uses.

And most imp, post here what you've done and what the result was. if anyone has a similar problem then they may benefit from it too...

Dude There is something seriously wrong with your car....
I used to drive honda city on motorway and 140k was nothing for it with 5 passengers...
Even my Mehran goes to 140k with four passengers....
You need to check your car....
There is something wrong with it or you need to learn how to take cars at high speed....
