88 740FT starts,idles for 2 min then begins to stall then stops running. 700 1988

I own an 88 740 turbo with the 230FT and automatic.The car will cold start then idle for a few minutes then sounds like its running out of gas then dies.Upon restarting it just idles like its firing on 1 cylinder then dies.New parts include at least(or very low miles),tank pump,main pump,fuel filter,pressure reg,air mass meter,coil,plugs plug wires,cap,rotor,distributer,coil,alternater, flame trap and hoses.New fuel pump relay,radio relay.No blown fuses.The pumps are activating.I can hear the tank pump and the main pump i can feel running by hand.No obstructions in fuel lines.New throttle position sensor.And other bits and pieces i cant remember.The car stumbled at a red light a month ago and has had stumbled a few times on start up but not due to being too cold or hot.The weather in ga has been really mild lately.It seems to me that i'm losing fuel pressure but without a pressure gauge i cant be sure(if you guys know where to buy the right one and adapters mention in the Hayes manual i will buy it today).If this isnt enough i need to find where i can get new oil line hoses that go from the remote filter mount to the oil cooler,the stock ones dont seat properly and leak just enough over time to cause a huge underbody mess but i dont think its caused the above mentioned problem as i always keep an eye on the level but....jeez my brain cant handle much more.About to go outside and go over the vacume lines again and electrical connections.could it be old ballast resistors?charge air overpressure switch?Missed relay?Even has a new Turbo(within the last 10,000 mls).Any help to kickstart my brain would be a blessing.Thx.
