trouble in paradise, Car stalling, ALL OPINIONS WELCOME Options

"Little Black" started to misbehave. when i backed out of the driveway, she died, it was early so i just assumed i let the clutch go too fast. i tried to restart the car and nothing happened . Here is what i found after some extensive spark plug pulling. The plugs were shot and corroded. so i replaced them. the car started fine after the new plugs were in. but when i accelerate the car started to stall out between 1000 and 2200 rpm. foot to the floor and nothing!!! i could get up to the higher rpm range and she did just fine. there sounded like a misfire at idle. At this point i decided it was time to change the fuel filter with my thoughts being that there was a fuel delivery problem. the filter was dirty and needed to be replaced but was not the problem. I thought maybe an injector cleaning was in order, that's when i was sure that i found the problem. the entire intake was caked in carbon soot, I've seen chimneys with less soot. everything from the back of the throttle blade to the intake gasket was a thick film of black, 2 days and 1 gallon of mineral spirits later the intake was clean and all of the carbon removed. surely this was part of the problem seing that 2 of the vacuum ports in the TB were blocked. NOPE!!!! After reassembling the freshly refurbed intake and TB the car started and reved great, i removed the car from the lift and took it for a drive, great throttle response, perfect, for about 14 minutes and then the sputter and stalling started again. I could use some opinions here.

A vacuum leak could cause that, among other things.

Replace your dist cap and rotor, don't just clean them. Also, are you POSITIVE that your spark plug wires are on in the right order? A misfire and loss of power can also be caused by having the wires on incorrectly. It's really sounding more and more like you just need to complete your tune-up here. All the fouled plugs, pitted parts, etc point to neglect (not saying it's on your part, but just in general I mean)

Use a bent paper clip to "jump the terminals" - you put each end of the bent paper clip into the terminals where it says above to, and then follow the instructions from there. The terminals will be labeled (I think it's on the underside of the black plastic cover for the diagnostics terminal thingie) so you can ensure you're jumping the correct terminals.
