Default 84 Running Ruff

Hi alll,
I got a 84 that just started running really ruff and then it dies. It have to keep pressing the accelerator to keep it running. It seams that the fuel is not spraying in the carburetors the fine spray it usually has. I replaced the fuel pump and filter. Any ideas before I take it in.

Have you checked the fuel pressure? It does sound like a fuel problem. Did you open up the old filter? Was it really bad? The screens on top of the injectors may be clogged. EGR valve?

RACE ON!!!
