Car keeps dying out, will only stay on while giving it gas *HELP*

i have a 89 Iroc 350 tpi and ive been having problems with the car not staying on. my fuel pump was going out so i changed it about 2 weeks ago and the car was fine but 4 days later the car would not wanna stay on. The car starts up fine but after a minute or two it just dies out and will only stay on with my foot on the pedal. i ended changing the fuel regulator and the car was fine again and then a day later the same thing, car wouldnt stay on. i checked the TPS with a voltmeter and it read good and the IAC seemed to be fine. so i maybe thought i had a defective fuel pump or something so i bought an acdelco one and installed it. The car started up just fine but about 2 minutes later it died out. Car starts right up everytime but i have to keep my foot on the pedal. any ideas anyone??????????

Check the temp sensor under the throttle body, i forgot to hook it up and it was hard to start, I would have to give it gas to keep it going.
