HELP! Engine dies when I give it gas

89 350 TPI

I have replaced my fuel pump and filter after thinking it wasnt getting enough fuel. I can raise the revs if just very very slightly increasing throttle barely any more and it starts to die and cuts out but sometimes if I let off it keeps running. I really need everyones help to get this fixed.

thanks

Let me know if you need more info

Need to check the fuel pressure. Let us know what it is with engine off/key on until pump shuts off. Let us know what it is cranked then what it does when you press the pedal.

Did this problem just start "out of the blue"? Or did you work on some part of the car and then it started?

Looking for a clue....
