The car starts up fine and will run as long as you do not slow down to turn or stop after it has warmed up. When you do this the car struggle to run, seems to have no power and will die after trying to run. If you let it set for a couple of hour it will run again for awhile. Also, if you take the air cleaner cover off and leave it off or leave it cracked open it will run fine. I have replaced the air filter and this does not help.
