It does sound like lack of fuel. Try an alternative fuel source. Fill a soda bottle with fuel and put main line and return line into the bottle, hooking the main line to the primary filter. See if it runs any better, If so, the problem lies between the filter and the tank.
Thanks, & to Barry;

That is the logical place to start.
And as far as the shifting it would just not get out of 2nd gear; or 3rd gear.

Plus the fuel issue I think to boot.

I hope it's not this, but what would be the indication of a problem with the IP or the injectors?
