Where did my power go?
Yesterday my 94 12v lost all power while sitting at a stop sign. I had to limp it the rest of the way to my buddies house and then all the way home again. I had filled up the day before at a new gas station because of their 20c off discount so my first thought was that **** in the tanks had clogged up my fuel filter. So i changed that and the problem actually seemed to get worse cause today I cant even drive it over 25mph without going downhill..
Symptoms:
NO smoke except on startup
No power
Fuel pedal is really hard to push
When I disengage the clucth and take the load off the motor idle drops to 2-300 then pops back up to only 500 rpms
It just flat out feels like its starving for fuel but I already changed the filter Im wondering if the fuel shutoff solenoid didnt get tripped somehow and how do I check that?
Any ideas?

Okay guys I found the problem, it was the emergency fuel shutoff! Upon closer inspection it had ripped out the bolt holes on the AFC housing and fallen over and because it is a gravity fed system cut off almost all my fuel. A few helicoils and grinding a new bracket later she runs better than ever.
