Subject says it all. Just started yesterday on the way home from work. Am going to review the FAQs more in depth tonight. Have no problem at speed, however, if I can keep it from stalling by applying the brake and gas at a stoplight, there is no power at all on takeoff until about 3K RPMs.

Car ran OK when cold yesterday evening, and again this A.M. The problem starts as soon as she gets to operating temp.

Car has been running great otherwise.

Initial thought is throttle body is dirty. I can take care of that. How difficult are any of the sensors I have read about to replace?

The aluminum preheater tube has been removed so I don't think anything has been fried.

Any and all info appreciated.
