87 camaro 2.8 v6 falls on face

I have a 87 camaro rs with the 2.8 liter v6. the car seems to be fine on start-up but after about 100-200 feet the car falls on its face. The rpms drop to nearly nothing, doesn't stall but won't move. Let off the accelerator to about 1/4 and sounds like high idle but will get the car up to about 30 miles per hour. I am at wits end, EGR valve is working, replaced fuel pump/filter, TPS, numerous vaccum lines, MAF. Checked fuel pressure 35 lbs at idle. Any suggestions would be appreciated, i have been trying to fix for days.

Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

Is the Service Engine Soon (SES) light coming on? If so, have you checked the trouble codes that are being set?

I'm going to copy this to the V6 forum, so perhaps you'll have a better chance of getting help.
