You might have static pressure that can fall off a cliff as soon as flow is needed. Graph the pressure against rpm and see if the FP drops out first
Other thought would be that the drive train is locking up, effectively stalling the engine.
I will try the fuel pressure. But if the drive train is locking up, would that have anything to do with it also stalling when turning the wheel in park.

Sounds like car will not drive at all because as soon as he puts it into drive it dies so doing any test by driving this car is out of the question.
I"m outside memphis, we have had ice storm and snow storms... We aren't used to it. We are trying to dig out. We got over 11inches where I am and everything has been frozen. It was a layer of about 2 inches of ice then 11" of snow... I cannot drive it, As soon as you put it under load it dies. I did disconnect the MAF a while back and it still ran just not as good.
