Check engine light ?
Warm it up and check fuel pressure and spark see if they come back satisfactory / within factory specification.

I think any car will start to feel like crap if its overheated.. is your radiator fan working? is it cooling it down?

You need to describe in more detail what is going on. Also, please write more legibly.

The car is a 1999 Honda Civic LX stock motor 160,xxx miles

My car is having HEAVY hessitation when hot and taking off from a stop (bogging down and no power). The car passed smog fine 2 months ago and I have not had a CEL since I replaced the secondary o2 and exhaust manifold. I have performed the following maintnance in the last 6 months...

Plugs
Wires
Cap
Rotor
Air Filter
Secondary o2
Exhaust manifold
Clutch
Transmission
Radiator
Thermostat
Valve adjustment (this last weekend)

I cannot figure this out, please help!
