97 Bonnie Dies while driving

I have a 97 bonneville 3800 with 130000 miles. The car starts right up every time, idles and runs perfect for about 5 minutes. After that it will die while driving if i let off the gas to stop at a light. I can put it into neutral and it will start right back up every time. If i just start it up and let it heat up in park, after about 7 or 8 minutes the RPM's dip down and the cpu comensates by revving the enging up to about 1500 and it repeats that cycle a few times and finally dies. The car also won't rev up past 4500 RPM's. Auto zone diagnostic came back misfire due to low fuel. I changed the fuel filter, no help. Would the TPS cause it to die at idle? I don't think the feul pump would cause this because it runs good for a while. Going to test injectors tonight. EGR valve? Anyone have any other ideas? Thanks for the help!
