Default engine starts but dies when warmed/gas is applied.

I don't know much about blazers, but i recently got a 1990 t10 blazer wich ever is 4x4. 4.3L engine.

about a month ago the engine started getting weaker and weaker. one day it wouldn't even move. it seems to move until it warms up.
i have put a new: ditributor, new computer (twice), Map Sensor, spark plugs/wires, Checked the injectors, Checked the fuel pressure, New rotor cap, and i checked the throttle body.
i have heard some comment about the injectors/harness maybe being grounded out. i have yet to check this, as i do not know how.

please send me your thoughts, i really want to keep this truck but i have a deadline of 1.5 months or i have to get rid of it.

does it turn over slower and slower? or will it just not start. How warm are we talking about before it starts?
