Default 850 stumbles, runs crappy

My '97 850 wagon just started running so bad I had to have it towed home. Only code it throws is a 0102 MAP sensor. Pulled connection to sensor and replaced with no improvement. Could it be bad gas? Going to replace fuel filter now. Any cheap ideas?? Thanks boys.

Had new plugs last winter and new timing belt a couple years ago. Cleaned MAS connections, used dielectric grease and plugged back in. Also replaced fuel filter. No change. Ordered new sensor.
