My car has been being a pooch EXTREMELY bad lately so i replaced the Profile ignition pickup(PIP) and the dizzy cap and rotor and now when my car is cold it runs balls out but as soon as it starts to warm up it runs like a POS again. It just kind of bogs and doesn't wanna run like it should...idk why it's only when it's warmed up or why it does it at all. I'm lost, help me out with some ideas

Maybe the ignition control module, they tend to act out when they get hot but thats just a guess, autozone can check them

Run your codes first. Could be a temp sensor thats not reading right and causing the fuel mixture to be off. Or it could be a bad O2 sensor. Clean all your grounds as well. Its always a good idea to do that when the car has a few miles on it.

Nah no weird smells or anything. I was thinking it was fuel or that ignition control b/c it has a kinda gargling flooded sound after it gets warmed up like it's getting too much fuel and it's just bogging it. I'll give ya the update when i go to autozone
