well, iv had ppl say, its my Mass Air Flow sensor, or my Map sensor.. but since this is a old's site.. ill ask.. when the car is first started, and when the temp is dead cold, it has all of its power, stonger then shit.. but, when it heats up, it loses all power, very sluggish, and over heat's. im sure its one of the two.. but, what do you think it is? thanx much guy's

mass air flow wont cause overheating... Have you checked your thermostat, water pump...? These things wouldnt cause loss of power, unless the engine is actually overheating that badly. What kind of overheating are we talking about?

But the other symptoms sound very similar to mass air flow sensor! There'll be a few other people on the forum with possibly better solutions or prognosis' to your situation...

I wonder what the computer would think if you physically unplugged the mass air flow, and tried running the car. Im thinking it would go into open loop, and might give you a better indication of what the problem is.

well, dependiong on how hard i drive it, it'll start to smoke a lil bit.. but, that was from corotion on the block and crap.. cleaned all that off with gunk engine cleaner. today, i unpluged the map sensor, and let it idle for a lil bit.. plugged it back in, now its runnin a crap load better... thanx dude!

loose connection? unless thats what it was, this problem might come back to haunt you later... Keep an eye on it!
