The car will run fune at night.. but as soon as it heats up outside the car runs very sluggishly, the power just isn't there.

What should I check/change?

o2 sensors are being changed out tomorrow..

what else would you guys reccomend?

thanks

sounds like a vacuum leak. Sealed well at night but heated up something is getting loose. Also, if you have a air temp sensor it might be going bad.
