Default help i need help

my 1992 corvette is broken. in may the car died while driving it. I t would crank but not fire until I shut off key. Then I would get one spark out of my coil. so I replaced optispark no change. then I replaced icm . now it runs for about 2 seconds then dies. If I pump gas pedal I can get it to stay running but runs ruff . put new fuel pump in it no change, checked with fuel pressure gauge has 40psi in the on passion . when I fire up the car it runs pressure drops car dies fuel pressure comes up to about 50psi then drops back to 40psi. I can do that all day long. any thoughts help
