hey thanks for the reply bro..man as soon as my car reaches normal temperature the car dies down, the acceleration is killed and it runs too heavy..otherwise when the car is cold it runs perfectly fine..

It REALLY sounds like an air or vac leak, could be a sensor going out of range or (and I really hope not) warped head /bad gasket. Is there anyway of getting it to someone who can scan it when it's up to temp and see what all the reads are? May be the only way of tracking it down (just really hard to tell without actually being hands on w/the car)

hey bro thanks alot..ill try getting it scanned thanks again man..i was wondering that could it be the ignition coil? what if when it warms up the current becomes weak?

That is a distinct possibility, The resistance in the coils can increase with heat giving a weaker spark. You would need to view the ignition patterns on a scope at that point, scan tool can't see it.
