    well it wasn't the fuel filter
    could injectors cause this?

    CAS could be well and treuly gone, it controls spark and timing so if its stuffed its going to do exactly this
    VRCALAISS, the VN has a MAP (Manifold Air Pressure) sensor. Its located on the firewall behing the intake piping. Take the pipe off the sensor and blow through it to make sure its not blocked because it can cause this problem as well
