I was accellerating at wot yesterday morning when all of a sudden my 93 atx just abruptly stalled out and stopped running. I pulled over and attempted to start it(it started briefly and ran extremely bad-missing-stalled after about 3-5 seconds) It has no power at all and had to be towed. When it does run it seems no matter how much throttle I give it it just wants to stall out(it also seemed to be running rich as I saw a deposit of carbom out of the rear exaust pipe) No problems that would indicate a failed sensor etc.. it just will not "run". I cheched the timing belt(new and tight with proper alignment to the marks) and I have a new tps. It also has a new coil-wires-battery-alternator. I checked fuel pressure at the valve(39 psi when ignition is on-measured with a gauge). I am prepared to fix the car I just need to know what to look for. What codes(the check engine light did not come on) should I look out for? I can replace the cam/crank sensors if needed so any help will be appreciated-

Run the codes.

Look for PIP or CID codes.

If PIP codes come up, I'd suspect the crank sensor.

Also, check the MAF and MAP/BARO sensors by disconnecting them, one at a time, and trying to run the engine.

Check the vacuum line from the fuel pressure regulator for fuel in the line.

Thanks- If the vacuum line is bad that will cause a severe driveability issue?
It felt so sudden-one moment it was great on accelleration the next second it was like total shut down-possible vacuum hose pop off? M
