Try reving it after you start, if it still chokes or sputters your right. if not check your battery guage. i'd try changing your filter first because its the cheapest option. you might want to consider flushing lines too. worse case you'll need a fuel pump sending unit.

Car dies after it warms up, no pressure in radiator when i remove cap, and acts like it's starving for gas
Some of the information does not correlate.

If there is no Pressure, then you Radiator Cap is Bad

Stalling or Starving for Gas can be a Fuel Pump or Air Filter

Remove the Air Filter and see what happens.

Test the PRESSURE of the FUEL System

My 93 firebird starts but sputters and dies
I agree with Dennis on checking the fuel pressure.
Could be a bad pump, restriction in the tank, vent problem in the tank, bad fuel filter, or bad pump relay.

Car only starts and runs for 30 seconds, after starting fluid is sprayed into the intake at the air filter. then dies even when pumping the gas, it acts as it's starving for fuel .
most likely fuel filter, pump or clogged injectors. Check for pressure in fuel rail at valve on rail.

Have the fuel pump checked for fuel pressure. Sounds like you got residual pressure but not sufficient running pressure.

When attempting to touch gas it dies, will idle in drive at 10 mph until you stop; then it dies. its a 1991 chev lumina
sounds like it is starving for fuel. check fuel filter to see if it is clogged. also make sure fuel pump pressure is ok.

My truck acts like it is starving for gas
You need to check spark plugs/wires/distributor cap.
Also good idea to check/replace fuel filter/air filter. It might be also bad fuel pump.
Good Luck
