Check the fuel pressure, dirty maf sensor, test the tps from idle to wot.
You'll need a gauge to test the fuel pressure, you can rent one at autozone.
You'll need a muitimeter to test the tps.

I put a new tps on it. Ok i will do that. If i have to replace the fuel pump is there a easier way to drop the tank then the axle job?

Some have made access holes, but to make a hole for the 1st time, your best to drop the tank because you have to modify the long steel sending unit lines. Do a search, theres lots of picturs out there.
