Loss of power

[garys86]

Hey all, I was driving back from Redding in my 86 coupe and after a couple of hours airing her out I suddenly lost power and had to take the first off ramp wherew she would barely run & didn't respond to pumping the gas. I had to have her towed home to Sacramento (38 miles) anyway what do you think my course of action should be? Start with fuel filter, fuel pump, computer relay?
Thanks,
Gary

Check the basics.

Check ECM for stored codes
Fuel Pressure

With no other information, my first thought was cats.

Are your's original?

Will it run at slower speeds and progressively get worse the longer you run?

Does the tach go up but with no corresponding increase in power?
