It might be worth getting it scanned to see if there are any codes logged.
35 degC is not really even that hot.
What fuel do you use?

I have driven with 1 degree intake temperatures and at nigh on 70 degree intake temps - there's a noticeable difference.

With the TMIC and being stopped the I/C soaks heat due to engine bay temps too. So as you move off you have a hot I/C & hot intake air. All contributes to loss of power.

need to be carefull when doing this as the 98 will allways be diluted by the leftover 95.

Umm, if I remember correctly there is a big sticker on the fuel flap saying 98 RON only...

Problem solved, use the right fuel.

In 1995-2000 98 wasnt common, so the cars were designed with 95 in mind.
