Is this behavior all of sudden ?
or this has been getting worse (started by having to pump the pedal to get some power while cruising->fuel filter clogged)

check your fuel system

Go to www.fc3s.org under how-to's->manuals->FSM88,
get 'fuel and emissions' and look into the fuel system

if you have a fuel pressure gauge, then you'd know pretty quickly what's wrong.

Check the intake tract and make sure there are no leaks after the air flow meter.
