someone's probably already said this, but run your codes, andif you get

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.
