Engine Mechanical problem
1995 Suzuki Sidekick 4 cyl Automatic 115000 miles

my 95 sidekick will start and all things function normally until it heats to a certain temp,afterwhich the engine loses all rpm and wants to stall out ,has no power and only by holding the pedal down will it keep running ,but runs extremely poorly.Tuned it up,changed timing belt,changed one sensor but nothing so far will make it run normal.So far can't get any code to show up.Had it to a reputable local garage and he gave up.Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I am going to say the Cam sensor located in distributor. Very sencetive to heat. Do you have timing light ? Show light on marks see if when warm mark jumps around.
