Need some help please!

My 87 T/A LG4 won't idle, and the only way i can start it is if i hold the pedal all the way to the floor? I changed the plugs, wires dist, and all filters about a week ago. Since then, the car has ran like a top. However, she fell on her face today. Does anyone have any idea why this is hapening??

I forgot to mention, my timing and carb were adjusted last week too.

It seems as though there isn't enough fuel pressure to run at idle, however i have about 95% regular power after 1500rpm with a litle surging?? WHY!?!?!?!?!

Probably a Fuel Pump problmes or filter is cloged. You have all the classic symptoms
