Need help with this 5.0

[Fast Kat]

When i was driving and stoped at a red light in my 5.0, my car began to putter when i gave it gas and didnt get very far when i stalled out. Someone told me it was my air filter system, i think it might be the fuel pump going bad because after a while of driving, the engine dosnt do anything when i give it gas, then stalls out, and when im trying to give it gas after i start it it makes a low bang noise or something. Does anyone know what the hell is wrong with it? please reply.

too broad man. Where does the bang sound like it comes from underneath? Is there smoke from the tailpipe? more info please.

what year is your stang? sounds like a possible pump but you should really try and monitor fuel pressure in your drive way or garage.if your pressure drops and the engine stalls soon after, a bad pump now looks more reasonable

How old is the fuel filter?
