Default sluggish when the car is warmed up.

well i need some suggestions. i have a 92 h22a swapped lude.

when i start it up and drive it around its drives perfect until the car is at proper operating temperature then it boggs down and just doesn't want to go at all in all gears and rpms.

it will eventually get up to speed but it just runs overall like crap. what could this be?

drove it again today. it does it right when the temp hits half way on the gauge.

plugs, and wires are brand new. new fuel filter.

could it be a 02 sensor? coolant temp sensor? knock sensor? Distributor?

i know the light works. cuz before i wired v tec like a few months ago it was on so i know it works. the car doesn't smoke too much there is a lot of thick white smoke but that might also be cuz its 10 degrees outside.
