car idle problems please help

my 91 z28 will hold an idle at 1500for like 5 min then drop to 500 and idle really rough also when I try to give it any throttle it acts like it does not get any fuel I had a gauge on it and read 40-43 psi then dropped to 20-25 psi when it died could this be the fpr?? also it has a new tps on it

thanks,,steve
