Runs fine cold for about 10 minutes, starts, accelerates fine cold, once temp gauge hits 190 or so it then starts to die when accelerating, no power, idles fine, revs fine, removed and cleaned the TPS, MAP, Temp plugs, no change, again runs fine cold, once it hits operating temp it seems to starve under acceleration. I can manually rev it to 6 grand hot or cold.
Searching around here I'm seeing clogged cat, bad fuel pump, temp sender on the Tstat housing. The gauge works fine and reads the same as it always has.
I don't have a pressure gauge to check rail pressure unless I can use a tire gauge which does not seem like a good idea but I may be wrong.
 
You said you cleaned the TPS, but what were the specs when you tested it?
