Could the issue be the fuel pump, or throttle position sensor
If the throttle position sensor is bad, you should get a check engine light when the engine is running.
I would check fuel pressure with a gauge at the rail to see if the pump is failing.
Tahnk you for your advice looks like my fuel pump when i checked pressure the highest psi it reached was 40 but would that make my check engine light come on as well as lean/hot codes from both downstream and upstream o2 sensors also with the pump being bad can that create a loss of vacum
Do you know what normal pressure is for your model and engine? Low pressure won't turn on the warning light, but low pressure could cause a lean mixture which would alert the O2 sensors and that would set trouble codes and turn on the light. Low pressure would not cause low vac but a lean mixture could. And the lean mixture could be caused by low pressure. Low pressure can also be a faulty pressure regulator or dirty filter which you said you replaced.

If it is fuel injected it will get enough fuel to start but not stay running. I had the same problem with my S10. Turns out the hose that went on to the end of the fuel pump was roted. pull the sending unit and check the hose connections to the pump and the sending unit. If problem presists replace filter first the pump.

have you tried checking the map sensor this can sometimes cause the engine to run oddly. also check for good spark check wires when its pitch black out check for wire arching. also check fuel pressure with a pressure guage.make sure cap and rotor are clean of deposits. keep searching and you will find the weak link.

check for minor vacuum leak and map sensor,pcv,egr valve

Replace spark plug wires and plugs. Sometimes old wires will arc to the engine block, causing missfire. Check the wires at night with lights off and engine running, if they're bad, you'll defenitely see them arcing to the engine. if they are...replace.
