Last time out my disco was fine. Haven't been in town lately, so it sat for a month or two without being cranked w/ 1/8 tank of gas. When I got back, I hooked the battery up and she cranked fine. Let it idle for a min or two, then drove for 3-4 miles perfect. Running 45mph all the sudden seemed like it just started choking. Bogged down and backfired a few times and kept doing it everytime I pushed the gas. Luckily I was right next to a gas station so I filled up with 93. Let it sit there for a min idling but everytime I pushed the gas it would just continue to bog down until I let off the gas (but would idle fine). Finally after sitting there I could rev it w/ no issue and got confident enough to drive on. Also noticed at idle one time while sitting the tach was not registering. Made it about 1/2mile and started again even worse. It got to the point I could even move it. Few hours later I got it trailered homeand pulled a P1316 code.

Here is what I did: Put a can of seafoam in it with Lucas fuel stabilizer, changed fuel filter, plugs, wires.

After that, it cranked up perfect, idled perfect, took it on the same trip and it bogged down in the exact same spot 3-4 miles down the road. Turned around and it seemed fine. Bogged down again and then I was able to drive about 3 miles w/ no issue until I pulled out from a stop sign and it did it again, so I held it to the floor and it choked for a second and then was fine the rest of the ride home (which was about a mile). WTF? Has anyone had this problem?
First thoughts: VSS, TPS or Injector. Or would this just be the gas separated on me and needs to clear on out? Any help is greatly appreciated.
