    teh 5.0 is running like crap

    started yesterday morning. it was running really rough, exhaust sounded different, and at a stop, idle, it began shaking....i thought it was cuz i was low on gas. put gas in it and still the same. it feels even lower on power than it is. the idle surges, and i can feel it surging at part throttle. i just changed plugs,wires,cap,rotor, last saturday and it drove great up until yesterday morning.

    i have a new fuel filter here, just need to get the fuel line tool to swap it out.

    could this be a fuel issue? i was thinking it maybe an air intake/vacuum problem but only thing i disconected was the MAF meter and plugged it back in. maybe a vac plug came off from where the smog pump was disabled. if it is a fuel issue has anyone used the seafoam stuff in the gas tank as a fuel system cleaner? ive used it for the crankcase but not fuel system. any other brand like better?
