Default rev up the car and car dies..need help

here's a video of me reving my car to about 2500 rpm and my car dies on me and my air fuel gauge is reading kind of weird. anyone know what's wrong with the car? i beleive i have a misfire too cause car stutters around 4000rpm to 5000rpm when running hard and idle like it's about to die when coming to a stop.

I bet you have a clogged fuel feed line. That would definently cause the gauge to lean when reving and would cause the car to die. Do this: you will jumper your main relay. When you turn the key on it will turn your fuel pump on with out starting the motor.

and do this :

Let the pump run for 10 seconds. You should have atleast 7.2 ounces in 10 seconds if not you have a fuel feed problem. Look at all of your lines and filters and pump.

I can be totally off here but have you check to make sure your vacuum lines aren't stopped up... Mass air flow sensor??? Just a guess... Hope that maybe this helps... I am still learning myself.
