more complicated than that. i tried checking all vacuums that i can think of but any one know any other ideas. whats weird is yeah the engine idle than wants to die out so gas it a little. ok. but when im driving in 2 or 3rd gear from around 3500 to 6-7k rpm it doesnt push like it use to. the thing that confuses me the most is when im making a hard or medium right turn it bogs out but left turns is fine. maybe somtthing with wiring i dunno some one help!

Same problem, mine good and strong when its cold. Ya when its cold or before the engine warms up. For me I think its the radiator, the temperature goes up when I drive it hard. Hard being not like a soccer mom starting after a red light. I know the heat is robbing my power. You might need to flush it all out. All the fluids. I've heard of oil lines getting clogged also the coolent. But you should see a temperature increase if thats it.

I've never hear of it dying out from heat. If its dying out then I would check the spark plugs mabey just get some new ones. Check injectors I really don't know how to test them. Mabey just run some of that engine cleaner stuff or the one that cleans out the injectors.
