    If it has a timing belt it could be coming apart and jumping time.

    Thanks guys. That's the thing, NO CODE thrown. As stated in OP, I did change fuel filter. I have not checked compression, only because I don't see that as being an issue. The plugs look like it's been running rich, which it surely has as it was DRINKING fuel the day it quit.

    I debated this as well, wondering if the timing could change enough by jumping time to make it run bad. But it happened very gradually, not something instantaneous like jumping a tooth or two on a gear, so I have not inspected this either.
