Default 5.0 LX falls on its face after warm

OK first post
I have a 1990 LX stock 5-speed 5.0 The car runs fine revs out until its warm. Then at about 3,000 RPM it falls on its face but if I feather the gas it will run just fine then when I stomp on the gas pedal it just falls on its face. I have changed the spark plugs, coil, distributer cap and rotor, fuel filter, and EGR valve. It seems to me that it is not getting enough fuel. It idles fine and revs good when not under a load. Could it be the fuel pump? Or?

check your fuel pressure? Did you run your codes? Do you have catalitic converters?

no cats, code comes up 33 and how do I clear it? Where does the vacuum line come from for the EGR valve? I cant finda vacuum diagram anywhere.
