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!

Welcome to AF. Check fuel pressure first, need about 47 psi. If ok, check for a sticking egr, carboned up throttle body or iac, and it will not rev in neutral above 4500, if that is what you are doing.
