Bogging

Hello again. another problem LOL

when the car is under 160* it will pull with all its got no problems.
Soon as it hits 160-180* it boggs like hell from idle to about 1500rpm.
lets see, no codes, no vacume leaks, Fuel pressures good, purrs like a top at 500-550rpm at idle, and I can't find any problems with the engine.

Its not just a little drop in power its like it looses 90% of what it has. this morning i was next to a person in a 90ish 4cyl Saturn and from like 0-10 the Saturn was pulling on me. WTF? But as soon as my car started to get some revs it was no contest. not that is something big, just saying thats how bad of power loss this thing has when hot.
I have played with the same car when my car is cold and its not even a race cause its like their standing still.

I have heard of Having power and then loosing it but not the other way around. Not this big of a loss either, and not when i have the power when cold.
