I have a 89' 240sx with a KA24E and it starts up fine, drives fine when its cold... and now everything messes up. When its really hot outside or the car is fully warmed up for a lil bit... or both, the car will cut back under full throttle and then tottaly die down to a stop. I have changed the plugs, wires, air filter, and cleaned the MAF sensor and still does it. any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

if it cuts out under full throttle sounds like a fuel problem. You would be able to hear if the fuel pump is going out, usually makes a wicked buzzing sound behind the passenger, if you lay the seat down while driving you will be better able to hear it, could also be the fpr, or faulty injectors. Is it only under full throttle or always after warm. There are two sensors behind the head, I think, not sure that one of them is designed to help the car warm up in cold climates, that may be faulty, this is just a shot in the dark don't go crazy with it.
