1989 warms up then runs bad until it stalls
Have a 89, the car sits mostly, went to do the Crusin the coast in Mississippi this year and car started acting bad once it warmed up, replaced injectors, cap, rotor, fuel pump. Also, before the car warms up if you push the gas peddle to the floor, the car will surge up and down, the gas pressure in the tank is very high, if I take the cap off quickly the engine will die.
Any suggestions

Get it scanned, refer to the FSM, and don't "shotgun" the problem.
Otherwise you'll waste a lot of money, become frustrated, and you may still be "in the dark" with not only the original issue, but perhaps a new wrinkle stemming from a replacement part. (BTDT!) Don't have an FSM? Make it a priority, sez me. But, as I said, get it scanned.
