car won't idle or make power

here's the deal. My 91 camaro rs will start but it won't idle. the engine acts is getting plenty of spark from the distributor but no power. like the fuel is being starved from it. could it be the fuel pump relay? Also the electric fan stays on all the time, what causes that? I replaced the knock sensor but and cooling fan switch but what else.

maybe it is ur air idle control valve is stuck open or closed., does the engine run when u keep on the gas?
