Default 92 SSEi will not WOT when warm

My car will take off with the best of them when cold but as soon as the temp gauge hits above 185 or so, u try to even half throttle it and she get all bogged down and doesnt want to accelerate, the boost gauge still moves like it is supposed to but the car just will not accelerate, it jumps and bucks around and stuff but if u let off and slowly press the accelerator, then it will slowly accelerate. Please help

Do you prefer cats or dogs?

Dogs aren't really a problem unless you refer to your underperforming car as a dog. In that case, to change your car from a dog to something else, you need a CAT.

I'm guessing that you don't have a performance pulley on it since it isn't stated in your sig. Have you ever ran a bottle of injector cleaner through the engine?

i did in december when i got the car but i did that cause i knew the prev owner didnt run premium in it cause it ran like total crap until about 3 or so tanks of premium it started running good again. I also notice that it only does this when the vehicle is at normal operating temperature, not while cold or during the warm up.

Any exhaust leaks....maybe cracked manifolds are causing major KR?

Time to maybe check the Fuel Pressure and see what you got.

In my experience, this was a weakening fuel pump.
