1986 Ford Taurus

a few months ago my car started to sputter and sometimes would stall when i come to a stop. then one day it stalled and didn't want to start back up. when it did and i tried to give it gas it would not go. now it will start but as soon as you put it in gear it stalls. if you press the gas pedal nothing happens it doesn't rev or anything. someone help me. i cannot afford to put alot of money into it

I would suspect a bad fuel pump
check for fuel and fuel pressure
to verify
