Car loses power after it warms up!
I have an 91 crx that I just installed an LS motor into. Today I started the car (ran fine) and drove it a few blocks down to my friends house. When I went to leave I got on it and when I let out of it, it almost died so I gave it throttle and no matter how much throttle I gave it, it just stayed at like 800 rpm's and then finally it came back so I drove it home and parked it. It was very sluggish on the way home. Had no power at all. Please help me. Thanks

I don't think Ive encountered anything like that before. Did you perhaps go through any large puddles? Are all the spark plug wires connected, pull your plugs out and check those too. If you let the car run/drive for like 30 mins, does it start to overheat?
i stepped on my weiner!

maybe you have bad rings. once the motor/oil heats up you could possibly be losing compression from ring expansion. but not to the extent of the car barely being able to pull past 800rpm.
