My Power Issues

OK - New Thread from your 175,000 Mile Club Guy. Remember Dudes (Dudetes where it applies LOL) - No Warranty all on me and no cash LOL.

LOW Power when Hot: Work Done so far.

New Coils
Wires
Plugs
Air Filter
Fuel Pump
Cleaned MAF
New 02 Sensor (Cat)

Description. Rough Idle but will maintain it (Stalls on occasion). No Starting Issues, No loss of Fluids, NO NOISE from Engine.

Car will pull all the way to Red line and hold with no CEL of any kind, just takes a moment to get there.

When cool - Power is there slightly muted. Feels like she wants to go - but has trouble. AC Makes a difference in Idle.

My Thoughts - Sea FOAM Next (Does anyone know what to use as a Hose (Windshield Wiper hose??)

Next - Pull Cat for inspection or replace(Is there a better way to check it?

Again _ No CELS - Wants to go just feels like its bogging.

Thoughts
