The ECU based on feedback will make the proper adjustments...sooo you have another problem. Have you checked for any CEL codes from the ECU?

Have you checked for any ecu codes? How long has it been since you had a whole tune up? Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, airfilter

Re: Needing Help Fixing The Problem

It sounds like you're starting to get clogged fuel injectors. Don't quote me on that one just yet. Is your check engine light (cel) on. If so you should go to autozone or advance auto and get them to check your codes. Usually they can tell you right there what the code is related too. If they can't then you can usually find the codes online. If your cel isn't on, I would run some fuel injector cleaner through the system and see if that helps dissolve the problem (no puns intended). If not then you need to check the pressure for the fuel system (it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and do that if you can) the only other cause that I can think of would be that your fuel pump is either going out or the fuel system is getting gummed up(possibly the pump).
