Default 92 saturn drivability issues


i have a 92 saturn DOHC and auto.it runs great until it warms up or goes into open or closed loop?whichever it is.then it looses power and starts sputtering and skipping.when you get your speed up and ease off the gas,it smooths out.but if you accelerate it starts back.i have good plugs and wires,like i said,it runs great until it warms up.thanx in advance

Check the ignition system. Plugs wires, coils--corrosion or spark leaks, oil in the spark plug wells.

MAP sensor..... that's more of an educated guess...

closed loop is when engine has warmed up. now what all have you tried to repair this problem? it could be oxygen sensor or ects. two of the most common ones to be the problem. well im having trouble trying to think right now, so dont have anything else.
