Default advice needed

First off id like to say thank you to all that reply wit comments n for your help..

Here's what I got for a problem got a 93 Dakota to get it started have to hold gas pedal to the floor..Once it starts u have to feather the gas pedal til it catchs n keeps at a ideal..If u give it gas from that point or go to put it in reverse or drive it stalls out..Here's where I need ur advice what could it be??? It's driving me nuts...

So far here's the list on things I'm done or changed..

Spark plugs
Wires
Distributer cap n rotar
Fuel filter
Fuel pump
Checked pressure
Whole new throttle body n all sensors on it

Sounds like a bad vacuum leak or bad EGR or bad fuel pressure (did you check it correctly with a fuel pressure gauge?).

sounds like just catching up on neglected maintenance based on what you've replaced so far...I would not feel a bit bad about replacing any of that stuff, if it had not been done in a couple years or more; I just hope you used decent quality stuff, not "the cheapest thing to fill the hole" but it sounds like its flooding out somehow;
