Default My GT is running rough

I got a 88 Gt and I could be cruising down the road running fine then out of the blue it start hesitating and popping like small backfire. I took care of the basics, plugs, wires,cap, rotor, fuel filter and cleaned the throttle body but it still does it. Can anyone help me? <edited><editID>Stock 88 GT</editID><editDate>37801.9865277778</editDate></edited>

You just have to unplug the battery for alittle while to reset it. Like 10 - 15minutes or so i think. Not sure exactly how long though.
