yea the thing is that it runs good till it gets too about 200 if it was a short wouldnt it do it no matter what. as far as the leak get it up to temp and look or drive down a dusty dirt road and try to find wet spots on the fuel lines
reread the post could it be sometype of vapor lock in the tank caused by the warm fuel going back into it

could it be in the temp.control sensor.sending the ecm a bad reading that the engine senses a overtemp and starts to defuel. could you find the previous owner and inquire about the cut wireing. may be that what ever caused the internal failure, was a temp problem from maybe overboost. it sounds like it is defueling as a safety factor. might also check all boots on the air system, you could be loosing boost.

Can anyone tell me what the following should be conected to, these are on passenger side firewall:
1. Female plug with Blk and Green wires
2.Female plug with Red and Blk wires
3.Green and Green Blk wires cut just hanging
4. Broken vacum line
As far as a leak the only one I can find is it is slightly wet at the back of engine on drives side.

not a mechanic by any means...
but I am going with, bad temp sensor...telling the puter your overheating and to SHUT'ER DOWN....
my temp doesnt go over 190* as was stated eariler..
if it were a fuel issue, I do not see why 200* would have anything to do with it....an air lock, probally gonna happen once or twice by now at start up, at idle on a red light, might stumble on a right or left hand turn, if it were oil and fuel, probally gonna notice it at the tailpipe by now, leaky injector might have showed itself at start up as well, hard start syptoms....
it just doesnt sound typical of a fuel issue...
it sounds more like a TEMP issue, which leads me to think a bad sensor....if the engine overheated on the origional engine failure.. and the codes were never properly cleared...a fault might be stored on the puter, with no CHECK ENGINE light shown on the dash....I would clear ALL engine codes, even those tricky hidden ones...and start with a temp sensor...
