Help Fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, yesterday my engine ran fine. it's an 85 LB9 305 TPI. i was thinking someone must have put something in my tank because it is running like sh*t. no ses light showed and i even checked for new ones. the only one that shows is 32, which only shows on cold starts cuz the proms for the 85 sucked that year. it seems as if the maf sensor is disconnected but it's not. it has no power and it runs really rough and sluggish. i am sure you guys have had this problem before and i really could use some advice as to what it could be. i am going to try some different things later today and if no luck then i'm dropping it off to my mechanic.
