It could be a combination of 2 things. A faulty MAP sensor itself or a bad TPS (throttle position sensor). It's not uncommon for a bad TPS to idle when the motor is cold but once warm, not idle fast enough to keep the vehicle running.

    Just to give you a little more info... I have an emissions light on and it smells like it is running real rich

    An emissions light brings the possibility of bad O2 sensors into the picture. Unfortunately, without a diagnostic test to help narrow it down, it's trial and error. It's also likely that you've got a combination of issues causing your problem. I'd certainly look into the O2 sensor (runs about $30) to clear up your emissions problem. It may cure the problem or at the very least, improve the engines performance.

1990 Chevy 1500 idles with the Map sensor unplugged and a finger over the vacuum line but dies when you take your finger off the line and when the truck is put in drive?

You might want to check and make sure the exhaust converter or muffler is not plugged. If it is it will not allow the fuel to be pulled into the engine.thus you shudder and stall.

Idles high then dies, new fuel pump and ecm

I would start with the vac leak idea.
And is the check engine light on when it is running ?
If so you should have the computer checked for trouble codes first.
There has to be a source for extra air coming into the intake or throttle body for the engine to run fast at idle, assuming the idle air control valve is working correctly.
That air source has to be found and fixed first.
It could even be the throttle plate not closing completely.

1990 Buick Regal 3.1 has rough idle, hesitates and dies when accelerating.

A lot of new parts! Have a compression test done to gauge the engine's internal condition, and go from there. If compression is good on all 6 cylinders, scan for trouble codes. The compression test may find your problem, something like an exhaust valve burned or not seating properly.

Car starts runs as soon as you rev it up some it cuts out and dies replaced map censor computer and other censors and fuel filter

Try replacing the crank sensor and relearn the idle air control.The sensor is in the back of the motor.They tend to crack and this will cause stalling.Hope this helps.Good luck.
