Default I seriously need some help with my CA18DET

Here is my problem and only problem:::
After i drive my car for 5 min, my car dies but does not stall. The revs will not go up and i hear HEAVY gargaling coming from the exhaust. The car does not shut off, I just cant drive because the power disappears, no throttle response, even with the pedal down the car does not move, i just hear rumbleing from the exhaust. BEFORE the 5min my car drives GREAT, no hesitation nothing, and it can idle all day long with no problem.

NO ecu codes
My timing is 15deg
Changed fuel filter
TPS is at .5 and 5V
Idle is great at 750
I looked for vacuum and boost leaks for atleast 4 hours today using some carb and choke cleaner.
My Vac is at 20hg
Every injector i pull i notice a big difference in idle, so i guess they all work, same goes with the coilpacks
Fuel Pressure is at 32 on idle and 40 at WOT
Oil pressure is at 20 once the car warms up

I do not have time for this anymore since i work 40hours per week and i have been driving someone elses car for the last three months.

PLEASE HELP Call me if you want to stop by 804-350-3591,

as far as your problem, the only thing I can think of that happens after about 5 minutes is that your thermostat will open (not necessary in 5 minutes, but when it reaches the correct temperature).

Your o2 sensor would give you a code.

shit... I subscribing so that I can find out what happens.

I know it cant be turbo since its a new GT28R. The CA has no code for the O2,

B16silverhonda I called you this morning and I wanted to let you know that i will be there at 8am this Saturday

it sounds like an electrical problem, you arent getting full voltage to the sparkplugs, so there is no torque or throttle responce, are your battery and alternater up to par???????

I bought a new battery from westco. If my alternator was bad my car would not be able to hold a charge. But im thinking it is something else electrical
