Default Please Help 95 Z28

I just picked up a 95 z28 for cheap! When I first drive it when its cold the car runs fine for like 5 minutes. Once it gets hot then the car runs like absolute garbage. pops and has no power at all. Takes like 4 minutes to get to 60. The engine has been completely built. What do you guys think the problem is?

THANKS!!

Need more info on the car. Mods?

Sounds like a closed loop problem, any codes or check engine lights?

I had a similar problem when I had an o2 fail, but if you can scan it and see what the sensors are doing thats a much better way to know for sure whats the issue. Could be a large # of things.

If you unplug your MAF you can keep the car in open loop. If the car stays driveable after warming up then it's likely a fueling issue with an O2 sensor, MAF, or some other component that alters the A/F ratio. Check all of your sensor wires and make sure everything is plugged in, no wires are burnt, etc.

Are there any service engine codes? (Keep in mind that unplugging the MAF will trigger a code) If it's not throwing any then the only way to really tell what's going on is to datalog the car and look for abnormal readings.
