You might want to check the fuel filter (on driver's side frame rail),
as it might have become slightly plugged. I had one on my '91 crap out,
and had a similar problem. My '95 is still on the original filter (101k
miles), but it's INSIDE the tank, so I will wait until it dies. I also
run a bottle of 104, or STP gas treatment every month, and stay away
from 'unknown' gas stations.
