Please help, in trouble...........
Okay, so I get what I think are all of the parts I need for my 88 GXL, and now it will not start. If I jump it, it will turn over, but if I let off the accelerator, it will die. When I do move it, it has NO POWER. I was in fourth gear barely doing 60, and it took forever to reach that. I have no idea if I need a new alternator, fuel pump, or what. Please give me suggestions, and I will respond in kind. For those of you with that helpful nature, this is aimed at you! Thanks.

check your alternator... if its not the alternator clean your fuel injectors and make sure they are plugged in... one of my plugs where broken so i rigged it to work and it was the same problem you where talking...

Yeah, for now concentrate on the fuel system, go over the whole shebang, verifying each component via the book (FSM or Haynes), pressures, etc...
Everything looks good there, I'd probably go to the electronics next (ECU, sensor inputs, AFM related things, etc...)
