I know this is a dumb question but how do I check all of these?

Is it overheating?

Possibly a rocker arm fell off. I'd expect it to run rough when cold as well though if one had.

Any lifter noise?

Maybe the throttle position sensor is bad or the throttle body is malfunctioning.

Major vacuum leak possibly. Take some carb cleaner or starting fluid and spray around manifold, brake booster hose, intake hoses and anywhere else where air can be drawn into the intake. Look for cracks in plastic parts and hoses.

I came across a scanner at Wal-Mart that can read all the modules in the vehicle. It's a rebranded Autel MaxiAP AP200 called the Hyper Tough HT200. $50. Bluethooth dongle. I'll give you way more info than regular OBDII.

Its had lifter noise on the passenger side since I bought it 2 years ago but no it doesnt run rough at all till it gets to operating temp then for some reason it shuts fuel off for fuel bank 1 (drivers side) TPS was already replaced it's always had evap codes can never find them tho even replaced the gas cap and I'll have to check that scanner out

Default What happened?

My Dodge is doing the exact same thing. I know this is a little old but did you ever find out what the problem was?
