Yes - it has full power cold. It drives great cold. And the car has run flawlessly since I bought it and up until this point. So I guess it is fuel starvation (and that is what it feels like!).
1. How do you recommend I clean the fuel/tank? If I need to drop the tank, do you have a reference/instructions?
2. Then I will try the Techron and see if cleaning the fuel system/injectors will do the trick.
3. I have a digital multimeter. what is the test for the Mass Air Flow sensor?
I doubt a tune-up is needed. I bought the care from a 76 year old guy who knows cars. He had his mechanic go through it thoroughly. The only issue when I bought it was a leaking front crank seal. The old man apparently had drawn a line and did not want to mess with the crank seal. I have had the crank seal replaced (big $$$'s) . Now there are zero leaks!
Thanks,
Joe

do a tune up? spark plugs wires set (19 year old wires are no good) cap and rotor,
now that spark is good, next is fueling.
injector cleaner, in the tank, Techron (by Chevron),. may help. (it has powerful solvents unlike most others sold)
car storage can can clog injectors easy, the injectors 10 micron sizes screens inside to.... they must be clean.
low fuel pressure is next. must be at spec.
and good MAF sensor, easy test, with dmm voltmeter.'
good engine, compression good,
good spark and timed right.
next is clean fuel.
then clean injectors (im not sure where your filter is , but the tank has sock on the pump input to stop gravel and rocks. LOL
then fuel pressure, it must be in spec, at key on and idle. 2 tests.
last is maf test. or clean it.
the engine needs a cam belt at 60k miles, 128kmiles is hopeless impossible. if it slips, the cam goes retarded and most times fails to start or floods fast, and stalls cold.
