Car dying out on acceleration

sounds like a fuel issue / carb or fuel injection problem.

fuel pump

My first guess would be the choke is not closing, or you have varnish inside the carb that is clogging up the ports.

Hope this helps (remember to rate and comment this).

The first thing I check for this sort of symptom is the fuel filter. Sometimes you get a bad load of gas with sand or other stuff in it, and it clogs the filter. When you try to accelerate, it either fails to respond or dies. When the engine is off, some of the material seems to fall off and it will run again for a while. It's the cheapest thing to replace, and usually easy to do, so it never hurts to try.

check the air flow meter,and the idle air control valve.check all the sensors for bad connections.

Before you replace the fuel pump, I would check the cheaiper parts first. Such as fuel filter and injectors.

replace fuel filter first check fuel pressure.

try pulling the vaccum line from fuel press. regulator, check if there is signs of fuel in hose (shouldnt be).....vaccum test regulator if needed....should hold vac....good luck
