I have a 87 rx7, the other day driving was perfectly fine, then after i went and got like 10 bucks of gas, i start it up and it stalls, unless i keep my foot on the gas pedal. when i accelerate its really slow, even when i put my foot all the way down. could it be the fuel filter/pump, because my fuel injectors are fine.

It could be a fuel pump and/or clogged fuel filter. These are both located in front of the rear axel on the left side of the car. You need to jack the car up and put on jack stands, to get under it. Remember NO smoking!, while working on fuel problems!!!!
