Driving home and loss power...stepped on the accelerator and nothing happens. After the car sits and cools down to below 160 (about 15 minutes). It fires back up like nothing was wrong and and goes until it get to around operating temperature 190 or so and then it starts losing power again and eventually dies.
I have checked vacuum lines. Already replaced the one in the computer a few weeks back. I plan on swapping n75 with one from a formally working car. Will also change fuel filter. May also swap out the MAF. The EGR was deleted by a previous owner.
This did not seem to be limp mode to me...and there was no CEL. It would have power and run fine then would start losing power and eventually poop out. I have not hooked up vagcom to see if there are other codes yet. I also noticed bottom radiator hose was not getting hot...so perhaps thermostat has a problem, but it doesn't seem likely that would cause those symptoms. Temp gauge never went above normal and seemed to warm up fine too. Heat was working fine. Nonetheless it seems temp related because it starts right up and goes once it cools off a bit.
Anyone run into this sort of problem before. Any Ideas? Any suggestions other than the plan above?
