Default car doesnt pull hard

any suggestions will help very much. under wot the car breaks up and doesnt go anywhere. it sounds like its going mach a million but doesnt pull like it used to. i know the car needs new plug wires from the headers. and the radiator is half empty with no puddle underneath and no leaks on anything under the car. let me know what you guys think.

thanks, nic.

Hmmm, so its not throwing a code? Sounds like it is not advancing.

yea it threw a left o2 lean and a fuel system lean code. but that doesnt explain why i am losing coolant. maybe a head gasket(s) took a crap.

Oh ok, i thought it was a new motor or somthing, yea, is it getting hot? Mine blew a gasket but ran fine, if it is pulling enough coolant into a cylender at WOT it will miss fire and act funny because it is having trouble burning a mix of fuel and water.
