Default runs rough after 90 minutes of running

ive already asked about this problem. after my car has been running for about 90 minutes it starts idling really rough. after i let it idle and i try to pull away, i get alot of stuttering and popping for a few seconds. then my car just feels like its not making any horsepower. it gets so bad i mash the gas in first, and i cant even spin the tires!!! i have a pretty bad exhaust leak... maybe that has something to do with it? oh, and i also cleaned the IAC and MAF, so i know its not that. any ideas?

Same as last time. If you have cats, they could be clogged. Possibly a fuel issue. Maybe take somewhere qualified and have it checked. Guessing and throwing parts at it will only **** you off further.

Not on these foxes. You have to know for sure that's what it is though before you start tearing them apart. If your putting on your exhaust parts this weekend then you'll know for sure after that if it was the problem. When this starts to happen, is there anyway you can read your fuel pressure. That would be the next step I would take. How old is your f/f btw?

How long have you owned the car and how many miles are on it?
