I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, and checked the operation of the fuel pump relay (fine). It still starts then stalls. I just changed plugs, cap, rotor. It ran well for 2 weeks then it started this fuel/ignition issue. What should I check next?

check your tbi connectionsontopfor good connections or not broken. then spray choke cleaer around the bottom of the tbi unit to see if there is a leak, probably is as these blew the gasket under the bi unit and leaked vacuum
