Hans, Nick and Dame... Please start another thread for your off topic conversation.
2abbit.. the fuel pressure can be declining as the pump warms up. This is why it is necessary to check the pressure. No pressure means no fuel. Diesel or gasoline, no fuel is no fuel. However we are only speculating and need to test to find the actual cause of the problem.

OK, well get this, now the stupid car is running ok...on my last post i wasnt as clear as i should have been. I stated that when i gave my car WOT it lagged out, didnt die just didnt want to gain or loose RPM. What I left out earlier in my post is that i let the exhaust get bad. What I mean by bad is slowly but surely the exhaust more specifacally the CAT started coming apart. I still ran the car(LOUDLY) but none the less ran it. When I finally took the car to the exhaust shop, the guy there told me that the cat can effect all sorts of stuff with this car. When i say i let it get bad i mean i ran the car for about 3-4 months with practically no exhaust system that was working. The pipe broke off on the front part of the cat. SO i guess what i am wondering is if that long period of time could affect the computer on the car. This is a weird problem and have been to more than one forum., and 3 dealership service calls only to have no one really seem to have this problem.I hope u guys can help me cuz this forum seems to be the most help to people out there
Thanx guys
Nick

So as I understand the situation:
1. You have a problem with the car lagging at full throttle (WOT) before you had the new cat put on. And with the new cat on the car, the problem is still there.
2. It runs good when the motor is cold, however, once warmed up, the lagging starts
3. Vacuum lines have no fluid
4. Plugs and wires are new
To me, it sounds like a spark issue; specifically the coil packs. I would get them checked and see what the omage is on the primary and secondary windings are. The link is in Tech Info.
