yep, im assuming some of the crud got through the filter and got caught in the injectors

If it was as dirty as you said I would lean more to a worn out fuel pump. But its hard to diagnose over the internet. Does it run ok otherwise

Yeah, how does it do in higher RPM's? Such as 4k? When I had my car, fully built with 4.10's I got about 15mpg so something is wrong! lol.

Check the injector size. I know the first thing I did when I got my car was change the fuel filter, and it was pretty nasty, but I think I changed it in time. Could quite possibly be your fuel pump like I originally stated.

it runs fine more than half the time, even when i push it, but when it wants to act up i can be cruising in neutral and it turns off, or i can be in 4th on the highway (2-3k rpm) and it sputters and tries to die but since im in gear the wheels keep the engine spinning.

The injectors are a orange color if they are stock 19lb'ers.

ok i checked and the injectors are orange, stock then
they look pretty old so again im hoping its that they are bad
is the only downside to running 24# injectors that i will run rich? i dont mind poor gas mileage if it means i can upgrade them for future upgrades (throttle body, upper n lower intake)

Yellow? mine are orange, i was told that they are 19lb injectors, someone let me know this please
Opps, didnt read far enough yet thanks 88blue, and what would the yellow's be then?

Chances are good that if you had "muddy looking" fuel... you probably need a new tank there bud!
