Stalls and then sometimes runs and stalls again. Extreme missing. Dumping gas.
Checked ignition module, crank module and fuel pressure.

Good evening.

There is fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail. There is a vacuum line to the regulator. Remove the line and turn the key to the on position. See if any fuel comes out the fitting for the vacuum line.
