my car has become increasingly cold blooded, it wasnt like that until my motor got completely broke in. fuel injected vehicles are usually not cold blooded, in fact my car used to run like a raped ape when it was cold, any suggestions

My car isn't cold blooded but I can feel a pretty good amount of power loss once it's full warmed up.

Pull codes and give everything a once-over. If it runs well when hot, it's probably a tune, sensor, or other ancillary issue when cold.
