@wmburns Any suggestions on this? So obviously no issues when the motor is cold. Seems like a fuel delivery issue. Bad injectors maybe or getting stuck open. If it runs fine when its cold there could be a vacuum leak after the hoses warm up. They shrink when cold and soften when hot causing more air to get in if one is torn or cracking. Does it have any idle issues? Responsive when hitting throttle?

it idles great and has amazing throttle response and see it wont do it cold but will do it after it gets warm yes but when it does it i can pull over and shut the car off and start it right back up and its fine but it comes back sooner like 8 mins later and i didint mention this before its a pain in the ass to put gas in it it kicks the gas pumps off ever 50 cents unless u let it fill super slow didnt think it would be related but maybe

This is a classic sign of a clogged EVAP system. Either the charcoal canister is clogged or the CV vent is blocked.

If you take the charcoal canister off you should be able to blow through it.

Also remember that the gas tank is vented through the charcoal canister. IF the charcoal canister is clogged this will affect the venting of the gas tank.
