Answer
Hello,

My first guess since you state fuel filter was clogged would be so is the tank and fuel pump.
The poor quality of gasoline we have these days turns to varnish when sitting. That is the purpose for the gasoline additive Stabil, if the car is going to sit for an extended amount of time. Check your filter again, it may be clogged again.
Your TBI could also be screwed up, but the source would be the fuel tank, which might have to be removed boiled out or replaced and a new fuel pump might be required.
The same symptom can come from a plugged catalytic converter, but since the filter was plugged I am betting on a tank issue with old gasoline.
