i did check wires 4 shorts & found the injector elec.plug wires to be showing and poss.touching each other .any poss.damage there?
thnx bob

check your fuel filter/pump. put a pressure gauge on your fuel line & check fuel pressure. it sounds like you sucked up some crud & either plugged up something, or possibly the crud got jammed in the pressure bypass (what regulates pressure by letting excess go back to your fuel tank) so now it can't maintain enough fuel pressure. i'd almost be willing to bet it's got very low fuel pressure.

in agrreance with the above post, but also, if you had weak spark issues, you should replace your spark plugs as they're probably fouled.

thanx guys for your replys. I fixed it. Turns out i was looking in the wrong place, It was the ignition controll mod. under the coils.
