Dead Cylinders when Hot

Hi All

Please help. I have a 91 SWB 3L V6. The car runs smooth in the morning when the engine is still cool, but as it runs hot, 2 of the cylinders stop firing. The plugs do spark, but it looses tremendous power and sounds like an old John Deer tractor. Can anyone tell me why?

Many Thanks
Dave

Sounds like the engine is switching into limp mode due to overheating. Sorry i cant help with more details.
