86 iroc z stalls when I push the gas pedal

Hello I have a 86 iroc z with the 305 tpi in it. My problem is that it starts up perfect everytime and then when you push the gas pedal to move the car stalls. The computer has been changed along with fuel filter, and maf sensor. The fuel pump starts up and you can hear it fine. It does have a small gas leak, could that be causing all this problem??

Never a good idea to drive a car with a gas leak! It depends on where the leak is coming from, but that could definetly be your problem. Get that fixed ASAP

After that if the problem persists, id start by checking the TPS.

TPS, fuel pressure, vacuum leaks. Look for a severe KV leak at the coil wire or a damaged coil tower.
