runs for crap when warm

My friend just called me and said his 02 ps is running like crap and even killing when it is warm. Said if he lets it cool down for a while he can start and go. No dumy lights on any ideas?

sorry psnut, he said it runs very rough which made me think cps but when mine was bad in my 95 it never killed on me. I will probably tell him to try that first I know someone who has a spare.

start out with the basics. check engine oil level and coolant (visible in Degas bottle above radiator) if it's low on oil, the truck will act up or not even "act"
