have no power take all its got to go anywhere.
feels like something is just choking the hell out of it.

idles fine, but when moving takes pedal to floor to go.
barely made it home to see my exaust manifold was bright red.

i have new cat back exuast, no cat, new intake, newer plugs and wires, cap and rotor, newer fuel filter. newer o2, tps, clean injectors

also checked the charging system, fuel pressure, and timing

dont know what the problem is, and cant get any codes out of computer.

please any help would be great.

Check the timing belt, i bet it skipped a few tooth, the glowing manifolds tell you 2 things, it is either LEAN or timing is not set right (low timing), this delays opening of the valves increasing combustion temps.

BTW..crank timing can be ok but not the CAM timing.

let it be overnight and it run great in morning

checked timing and fuel pressure once already. looks good.

could it be a the air fuel or egr sensor.

[speedytang]

Could be your missing 4 cylinders or your cam is way off causing the exhaust valves to be open at the wrong time and causing fuel to burn in the exhaust.

runs great sometimes other times not.

started it after work, ran like crap. turn it on and off couple times. ran okay later.

can the egr cause this? it didnt act up when unpluged but then the engine light was on.
