lol I suppose.

When my car is running for only 15 minutes it hauls *** off the line after about 30 minutes it loses power but still has decent power.
Do you have a real CAI or short ram? It could just be your engine warming up and taking in its own hot air. Though I am sure you have already come to this conclusion.

Check your Throttle Position Sensor and wiring. Fuel pump, filter all related to WOT (Wide Open Throttle) Lag.
would the fuel injectors have anything to do with it to or no? is their an adjusment on the TB, if so how do u do it?

I'm actually running the stock intake set up with the silencer that runs over the engine...lol

I'm in the process of making my own CAI from a 1992 Chevy 2.2 Induction system, its almost as if it was made for the Neon, now I just need to mod the piece thats low enough to fitunder the hood thatcomes from the Trottlebody to in front of battery tray soI have hood clearence.

After she warms up a good 20minutes or so off the line I floor it and it sounds like its choking on its own air andit makes a muffled sound like somebody put their hand over the trottlebody and its trying to breath then WOT at 25mph and up it has clean power. It just seems like it picks its *** off the line at times, not sure if its because of the high 1st gear or what. When I make my morning Mc Donalds breakfast run the car is very enjoyable to drive and has lots of power off the line.

SoFirst order of buisness is to get the CAI finnished then check the trottle positioningsensor correct? How will I know if this sensor is good? Will this sensor show up in a OBD-2 reading or is it not readable by OBD-2?

I have a OBD-2 scanner that hooks up to my laptop.
