Default Engine trouble

I posted a couple days ago about some engine trouble. My car would idle for a couple minutes then the idle speed would slow and the engine would stall. It also didn't want to accelerate. I could only get it to do about 30 in second gear and then it wouldn't want to accelerate any more it would just bog. Forum members said it was fuel delivery so i changed my filter and pump. The idle and stalling problem seems to be fixed but it still won't accelerate. What do you think it is. I was going to take it to the shop for a tune up and distributor rebuild kit instalation but i don't want to have to tow it. :(

Still sounds like a fuel problem. Maybe a pickup in the tank problem, or bad gas itself. Good luck & let us know what you find.

Have the ignition module in the distributor checked.
