nothing is coming up because f no check engine light. Has anyone ever had a problem like this. When it is warm i go WOT and it is very very sluggish and it like governs at either 4100 or 5200. And if you hold it down it continues but if you let off a little and then go back down it shifts and everything is fine till the next shift??/

DO you have a "rough idle" that comes and goes?
If you get it near a scan tool I'd like to know your TCC SLIP RPM readings.

tried the lucas didnt do anything. I am starting to think fuel problem but why would it only be when the car is warm and why would it make it like goven out?
Are you misfiring?
Yesterday when i was messing with my afc, i accidentially re-set it and my fueling went 13% less than what it should be. So, under 3k it was cool but when i got on it, it bogged down and misfired untill i let off the gas and pressed it slower. So maybe it is fueling? Still wouldn't explain why it only happens when it'* hot unless when it'* in open loop(before it reaches operating temp) it'* significantly running richer. That'* a possiblility.
Another thing you might want to check out is the cat. When mine clogged, the engine would bog down/trans wouldn't shift whenever i got on it . That only happened when it got hot too.
You really need to get a scan tool on that thing. Then you'll be able to see if fuel trims are way high, if theres any KR, etc.

checked fuel pump it was 40psi so that is good. I am going to replace my fuel filter next then maybe spark plugs because i have the ones i had since i replaced the engine. If that doesnt work then i will have to check the cat. I will keep everyone updated.
