My 97 PA seems to be running ruff like when i get on the gas..
I did a tune up about a month or 2 ago.. And this week i noticed its running rough when i take off from lights & pickn up speed to get on the highway like the the car vibrates & everything..
Nothings wrong with the exhaust, nothings wrong with plugs/wires ect...
I need help..

Not sure of your description....is this like a misfire? Fuel starvation?
Any codes?
Try running with MAF disconnected?
Check the vac line to fuel pressure regulator, for fuel?

I would say possible fuel starvation.. its like if i take off lightly on the gas its fine takes off smooth.. Say i press the peddle maybe a quarter of the way down.. It sounds ruff & not smooth like before
When we asked you to check the vac line to the regulator, we were talking about fuel, not moisture....

the FPR has a screen on the bottom side.. The old one was old & needed to be changed...
And im talking about that! On the old one it was rusted out.. If tht makes sense.. It had holes in it..
