Car stalling Problem

I have posted this in other forums if it looks familiar

I have been without my baby now for 1 week
The car (91Z 305 TPI) will start and randomly stall at different temp, distances even at idle in the parking lot. After stalling it wont resart untill I give up and try again later. While attempting to start I hear a ticking coming from fuel pump relay.

These are the parts I have changed in order

Fuel Filter
Fuel Pump
Ignition Module
Map Sensor
Fuel pressure Regulator
and today Fuel pump relay (still ticks when trying to start)

If I spray some starter fluid into the throttle body it will help to start it but then it will stall, also I have checked the plug wires and they have spark.
Im at a loss and will forever be in debt to the person that can help me with this one , Its my only car and I have to borrow my moms just to get to work. Any help and I will appriciate it forever. Thank you

Car: 83 POS monte carlo 2015 chevy P/U
Engine: 92 5.7 tpi 5.3
Transmission: 700r4 6L60E
Axle/Gears: 2.42 too high
with it starting with a shot of starting fluid the ignition is probably ok. although i don't recommend using starting fluid, its hard on the motor.
does it have any codes?
when it won't start, you need to check your fuel pressure, spark, & injector trigger.
if they check good its time to hook up a scanner.

First thing you should do is pull your codes.
