Help Car Dies after driving

i have a 1992 camaro z28 305 TPI I just bought it ,anywaysI can drive it for about 2 hours then after like beating on it going not even that fast like 80 , it just bogs out and dies and if i step on the gas it dies even faster i've tried replacing the thermostat and all new hoses and ive tried replacing the throttle position sensor and im running 93 gas ,im almost out of money now and ideas has anyone ever had this problem or does anyone have any ideas? Could not having my temperature sensor hooked up cause this issue? because i noticed its not hooked up ?

I replaced the TPS No luck with that

Did you replace the catalytic converter when the exhaust was replaced? If your temperature sender is connected, you might be able to see if the engine is heating as it loses power, and that would be a clue.
