I have an 86 corvette, when accelerating it misses and stumbles, I have replaced the plugs and wires, the fuel filter, ive checked the coil packs, all the fluids are fine the check engine light is no where to be seen its not on. When idling its fine and when you get over 60mph its fine from 0-60 it misses and feels like it has no power. What is wrong?

Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
