Engine starts and throttles okay but after driving for .5 km it just start losing power. I changed MAF sensor and it works for a month then it starts losing power again. I changed cylinder head gasket, fuel pump, air filter, gas filter and no changes. There is no catalyst in car, was removed. Cannot seem to find anyone to help to solve the problem.

Yes, I have seen this problem before. You need to remove the throttle body (battery disconnected) and clean it inside and out. Here is a guide to help you see what you are in for when doing the job. The goop causes a correlation issue with the computer which then shuts the car down.

Please run down this guide and report back.
