My 1987 Chevy Camaro 2.8L V6 randomly lost all power while driving at about 55 MPH about 2 weeks ago. Manifolds were fiery hot. I have replaced the fuel filter, fuel pump, mass air flow sensor, and other small things to help it run better. Still nothing. I have a little more power, but it is still weak. I can floor the gas and it barely accelerates.

I thought that too, so I cut it off but still the same thing. I think it may have something to do with the throttle bottle and the car running way too lean but I just need confirmation on it before I start spending more money.
