Sounds like you have a vapor lock problem. When the motor gets hot, it boils the fuel in the line so that it is just vapor. That is before it gets to the fuel rails for injection. When the vapors get there, the power goes down.

Another thing: When you say "Suddenly loses speed" are you meaning that it feels like the engine just suddenly shuts off? If that is the case, then it sounds like it could possibly be a bad distributor pickup. I just had this problem with mine, but went the fuel pump replacement route first. The distributor pickup is a cheaper fix, only about $45. I'd check on it first. This is commonly referred to as a "Hall Effect Sensor."

The sudden loss of speed usually it cuts out and stalls, ocasionally lose 30 mph and it'll pick up again, but mostly its a stall. almost did the fuel pump route, and was wondering about the hall effect sensor. I'll give that try first thanks

Since it is just like a stall, check that hall effect quick, before it leaves you on the side of the road. Mine was cutting out like you said, then it started to just die. After sitting for a little while it would start again, but the sitting times usually kept getting longer and longer, with the running time being shorter and shorter, till it started no more Got it fixed though, and not a prob since
