1989 Chevy Beretta 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

ok my car will not start last fourth of july I left the dey on in the car while trying to get my negative terminal bolt screwed in but as I was doing that every time I lost connectiion there was a clicking sound over and over after I got it screwed back on it started but was acting funny I got on the highway and got to about 55 mph and it wanted to hold back like it had no power and died got it towed home and so far I replaced the computer, the module and all three coil packs, battery, and crank sensor it has gas and i'm getting spark, fuel pump primes up I can hear it, got the pressure tested and it getting about somewhere between 28 and 35 psi not sure if thats enough but it sounds like it. It will start a little bit now when it wants to but then dies in I let it run or I touch the gas pedal. No fuses are blown and I didin't get the manual for the car when I got it or the fuse box cover so I don't know if i'm missing any fuses it ran just fine when I got it last feburary but now it won't work at all and me and my friends can't figure it out would you please help me

Need to pull any trouble codes the computer may have stored in it.

OBD-1 SCAN- As you are looking at the diagnostic connector, the top right two terminals should be "A" and "B" or "5" and "6" as labeled on the connector. Insert jumper wire between the two terminals, turn key on and count the number of flashes of the check engine light. There will be a long (3 second) pause between codes. Flash, flash, short pause flash would be 21, long pause next codes starts. Get back with what you find
