Running problem

[marc at getty.net (Marc Getty)]

I'm not too sure when the cold start 5th injector stops working, but if it
works for ~5 minutes this could be a problem in the transition from 5
injectors down to 4????

Subject: Running problem

Within 5 minutes of turning the car on, the car loses power drastically. It 
idles very poorly and keeping the revs up just barely keeps the engine 
alive.
When the revs are up, the sound from the muffler sounds "empty" and a huge 
loss of power.

After a minute or two the engine revs up and runs well. The tach still 
responds normally so spark drop out is not much of a reason.

I did run the tank down low (really low), so I am hoping that it is a 
clogged fuel filter.

Sound reasonable?
