Default Down on power

What would big the biggest culprit to a not sudden but slow loss of power. When the engine is cold and I step on the gas it almost dies before it kicks in. The pedal just does not have the power feel it used to. My Vette is a 94 LT1 with about 73K.

fuel filter ?
air intake cleaned?
plugs?


Thanks

Sounds like it could be a fuel filter.
