Also bogs down when giving it a lot of gas. I was wondering how to check the fuel pressure or what other things I should check. Thank you. Kim

Hi,

Here is a guide how to check fuel pressure. However, I suspect this is the torque converter. If you are driving at higher speeds and then when slowing down it stalls, this is because the torque converter is not releasing and it causes the engine to stall.

However, if this does it even if driving around at slow speeds and coming to a stop then you are probably correct with the fuel pressure.

Let me know what you find and we can go from there. Thanks

Replaced the fuel pump and strainer. Still stalled and was sluggish on acceleration.

Took to my mechanic, it was the mass air flow sensor.
