How about fuel?......It sound like you are getting some to have it iddle ok, but when you get the pump going it maybe getting obstructed. I had something similar happend. Mine turn out to be crap in the tank prior to the square fuel filter. I had replaced the filter too. So check the easy stuff first. It could be a clogged fuel filter. Is the fuel pump making much noise? Another indication of it working too hard to get you the fuel the motor needs.
