[DeTomaso] Not running ...

I once had my PCV hose come out of the valve cover with a similar  symptom. 
 Could be a major vacuum leak from a broken or detached  hose?    Always 
start with the simple stuff.  Just a  thought.

Well, as  my spirited session with my buddy's M6 came to an end, I barely 
had any power  in my cat. 

She was running, but absolutely unresponsive to any  throttle. She died as 
I hit my driveway and begrudgingly started just enough  to roll into the 
garage. She will start now, but it's a "cough cough" affair  and she won't come 
to an idle. 

I thought it might be a clogged fuel  filter, but the filter was clear. I 
replaced the stock (mechanical) fuel pump  last year with a Holley (12-854 - 
80GPH). I also had my Holley 735cfm carb  re-built last year. 

I am thinking it's one of these pieces who is the  culprit ... most likely 
the carb.  

Thoughts?

Thanks,
