1989 firebird with LT1 engine
Hey guys I'm having some problems with my firebird. I bought it knowing I needed a new.fuel pump and I fixed it. It starts now but shuts off if I don't keep foot on gas if it idels under 1500rpms it will shut off. I also did spark plugs and wires and other things if anyone could give me some input that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Also check the ICM and the coil in the distributor, I had a stalling at red lights issue that was caused by either one or both of these being bad.

Just because the pump is good doesn't mean you have fuel pressure at the rails.
Fuel filter could be blocked for example
Also pull the engine codes and see if anything showing;
something else ( electronics? ) may be playing up
