So when i first start it up in the morning it runs great revs fast and has power. Then when it warms up I lose power and revs really slow. I mean its so slow minivans that are barely on the gas are passing me when i am floored. IT IS SLOW.

What do you think could be going on?

Thanks

Sounds like it could be the coolant temp sensor, do a search for the fsm as it will tell you how to go about checking it.

it could be the temp sensor or the fuel pump. i had the exact problem it ended up being the fuel pump was jacked up.
