Buy a manual while your there. And don't buy a POS sensor from Autozone. And btw, how does it run when you first start it in the A.M. ?

It runs a lot better in the morning, I wouldn't say good but once it warms up it start running worse.

You might want to try removing the TB and cleaning it and the IAC. Then do a search on here for plenum. Get that manual though, it will tell how to check the other sensors,like the ECT for instance. You could have a bad cat or going bad, and a blown plenum gasket. Mean while you can pull the plugs and see what they look like.

LOL! I'm not going to be around for a while after tomorrow, so I figured I would be helpful for a change.

**UPDATE**

NEW
Plugs
wires
cap
rotor
TPS

CLEANED
TB
IAC

Runs rough and has no power, the warmer it gets the worse it runs. Burned a 1/4 of fuel in 30miles. No check engine light, does come on when I turn key on. Checked for codes anyway and no codes.

Thanks for any help.

Unscrew the o2 sensor in front of the cat and see how it runs.
