Default Car stalls, when hit throttle??

Hey Guys,

didn't pull codes yet,but it seems that the car idles, but idles low. Then whenever I hit the throttle any little but it wants to die and shut off. I can tap it a lil and it'll raise the rpms a little but then want to shut off and die.

Sound like a TPS? I dunno if the fuel pressure is dropping, i'll hook a fuel pressure gauge to it tmarrow.

I don't have the 38lb injectors in yet, and I don't have a tune.

Was running great and all, just happened all of a sudden 2hrs ago.

Replaced the TPS.

Seems that I am lossing pressure at the rail. When I shut the car off I get no fuel squirting. Once started some will come out, but seems I have a fuel issue. Guess its time to do the trap door mod. Its a brand new Walbro 255 and car has been running GREAT then just all of a sudden. This

The fuel line in the tank may have popped off it happened to mine fuel softened the line and it came off.
