302 Tpi 1991 Please Help!! Dies With Throttle

I Just Bought A 1991 302 Tpi Z28 From A Buddy And Ive Had It For A Week... Every Now And Again... You Can Be Driving.. And The Fuel System Seems To Just Shut Off... When You Hit The Throttle It Wants To Die... When The Engine Gets To Idle... It Runs but barely and very rough... When You Hit The Throttle It Wants To Die... This Only Happens Sometimes.... When You Turn The Car Off And Start It Again... The Problem Is Gone For About 5 To 10 Min In Which Case It Will Run Again At Idle And Die Or Almost Die From Any Rpm When You Hit The Gas... Any Advice Im Not Sure Where To Start Ive Heard Tps First And Ive Heard Fuel Filter Then Fuel Pump Im Not Sure Where To Start... If You Have Seen Or Heard Of This Before Plz Help!!! Thank you sooo much :-)

well first off its a 305 not a 302, but try changing your fuel filter as a start, give it a full tuneup and see where that gets you
