Car starts and idles fine...I drive for a couple minutes and then the car really bogs down and doesn't have much power when pressing the gas....seems like it's not getting gas? Really struggles going up hills. When it's running for awhile the temperature is hotter than normal but not overheating. Any thoughts on what this might be?

Start by having the computer scanned for trouble codes. That should point us in the right direction. Most parts stores will do it for free. Let me know what codes are pulled.
