i had the same problem, was the fuel pump but you replaced yours. what'd you replace it with?

check the cutoff switch in your trunk. tps switch is cheap enough to replace or you can check it with a multimeter. clean your maf. other than that i dunno.

If the intertia switch was tripped in the trunk, power to the fuel pump would totally be cut and the car wouldnt run at all.

dumb, dumb question, have you cleaned your air filter? Went and test drove a car once, and it did the same thing, ease into the throttle, and it did fine, mash the gas, and it was like a pig walking up hill. opened the air cleaner, and it looked to have never been cleaned/changed.. dumb, yet easily over looked. not trying to insult anyone, but its an easy thing to check and rule out.

not a dumb question at all. ive seen many ppl that never change or clean their air filter. then bitch about their fuel milage!

Check your fuel pump pressure even though you have changed it. Had the same problem in my 89. Fuel pressure can look fine at idle and still not be fine also. Sure sounds like a weak pump. Does it whine at all? What type of pump did you put back in?

What about your TPS (Throttle Position Sensor)? Another possibility.
