It's difficult to diagnose a fault without seeing the car...
..but that sounds like sensor at fault.. fuel/air mix sensor or maybe a temperature sensor It sounds as though your car is getting too much fuel for the amount of air ... but .. also check your air filter..)

A workshop should be able to do a diagnostic check for you

88 bronco. runs fine untill it warms up then loses most power

Sound like an ignition issue.The hotter temps are causing a part to fail.If you've never replaced the ignition coil,this is the easiest place to start.Another possibilty would be the pickup in the distributor,or the reluctor on the distributor shaft.

It starts and runs fine until it warms up. then it begins to "chugg" and lose power.???

If you drive a lot in town, it could be your catalytic converter is getting plugged up.

When my chev 2000 sub is warm hard to start

I have a really good hunch that your problem is the spark plugs. As with this when your engine gets warmer the plugs get hotter and they start to lose power when you try to start your engine. I am not positive on this but I am really certain, but with this problem there can be a number of things happening.

Reduced power below 4000 RPM

The main relay also controls the transmission and will cause an intermittent interruption of power and indicates its going bad. about a $60.00 replacement cost. the relay is located under left side of dash.
