    confused Problem with Calibra

    My mates got a 2l ECOTEC ina Calibra, runs fine when cold, when warm, no acceleration at all till gets to 4k revs in 1st or second (feels like the engine has flooded), then goes like **** off a shovel.

    So far, this has been done to try and sort it......
    Air Mass sensor replaced
    Crank sensor replaced
    Cam sensor replaced.
    New airbox and filter fitted (to get rid of that induction kit)
    Complete replacement exhaust system fitted
    EGR valve blanked off

    All cylinders working and all plugs are sparking fine.
    Head is holding pressure.

    Any ideas???

    Says the timing may be an option as head gasket changed not long ago. Any other ideas
