Losing power and overheating

Hi Jesse,

This can be the result of a few different things. By chance, is the check engine light staying on when the engine is running? If so, have you had the computer scanned for diagnostic codes? If not, I suggest that first. Here is a quick video showing how it's done:

The issue you described is interesting. If the fuel pump was weak, it could do this but not cause overheating. It could be a head gasket issue or even a plugged catalytic converter. Have you ever noticed any odd odors from the exhaust? Is there any smoke from the exhaust? Are there any strange sounds?

Do me a favor. Take a look through this link and let me know if anything discussed mirrors what you are seeing on your vehicle:

Let me know.

Take care,
