When starting the car you must turn the ignition for a long time and pump the gas to get the car to start. If the car sits idle too long (i.e. red lights) it dies,it will also die when shifting gears. The fuel pump has been replaced and that did not help,if anything it seems like things have gotten worse. The gas pedal will also sometimes stick to the the floor though the car will decrease speed,it doesn't last long but is scary! Please help,I'm terrified to drive.

Try checking (or replacing) the fuel pressure regulator.
