Ok. You would need to perform a fuel pressure test and see if the pressures are dropping out while driving. Also, the [catalytic converter](/topics-catalytic-converter-honda/) could be clogged and when the car gets hot, it can’t release the [exhaust](/topics-exhaust/) gases.You would also need to find out if the MAF is reading high or low.
