Default Having trouble keeping it running

I have a 91' LX. It fires right up but after about 20 second it dies, I have changed the fuel pump, filter,and did a complete tune up.Changed the igniton coil to an MSD ignition coil. But I still continue to have this problem,Sometims I can turn it on and it will stay running and Im able to drive it, but for the most part it just shut right off.

have you had a fuel pressure tester hooked up when it dies to see what happens with the pressure??

check for codes/koer, if none, clean IAC, and make sure no vaccum leaks are present.
