Another thing to check in that area is the throttle return springs,should be 2,covered extensively on previous posts.Haven't had
to change my fuel solenoid yet but when I do it would be easy to measure travel and just set the new one for same amount after bench testing.

Thanks John both springs are in place and seem to be providing enough pressure.

Final report:

After replacing the switches in the left front compartment last week I went for a drive today, all is good now

Don't forget about the AIR INTAKE! Check out my similar problem, where I serviced the fuel system several times and finally discovered a well packed bird nest in the air intake BEFORE the air filter. It was located in the tube between the air intake grille and the air filter intake.  The bird nest was 9 inches thick and had gradually choked off the intake, until it exhibited the same performance problem you have mentioned.

Thanks thisldu, I did take it on about a 10 mile run and the 2 switches seemed to fix the problem but I will go ahead and check the air intake just to make sure.
