It's possible the PCM is the culprit but I don't know why that would only be the case in closed loop. The ECM also reads the cam sensor and relays to the PCM.

Here's the FSM: http://www.rm-indy.com/wavefiles/2001ramsrvcmanual.zip

yeah im reading about it, ...but what would cause it to run for 20 mins, then start bogging down? to the point were it will only do 20 mph wide open

if you can get the RPM to go above 3000 then the problem will insteantly fix itself and th emotor will run smooth , of course forget about trying to do that in gear, it just bogs down

ok so i have an idea, if anyone could tell me if this is good, ......if it is a sensor, or PCM , clearly the poblem is only happening when the motor is warm, so for testing purpuses could unplug (or jump ) the temp sensor? make the pcm think its running a cold engine, if it works fine after say 40 mins of driving, then clearly it would be something related to the PCM, Verus a cam sensor or a blocked convertor would this work?
