Default Car Dying pt2

So before in a post i said that my car was dying and that it was the gas, i guess it wasn't. When ever my tank gets below 1/2 a tank it starts dying when i let it idle (either coasting to a stop or just sitting at a stop). I have done a tune up (Plugs, wires, dizzy, rotor, fuel filter) and that made it run smoother. But now i have run out of ideas as to what could be causing it.

91' LX (so i forgot to add that in the last post), the guy i bought it from fixed the blown head gasket in it, it burns oil and im either going to see if anyone is selling a f22a or get a ring job. running on BP or Shell 92oct

you say it dies below 1/2 tank?? i had a similar problem where my car would randomly stall when i took my foot off the gas or put on the brakes(not all the time just randomly) i changed many things even something in the fuel line like you,, but the last tim ei figured to have a mechanic take a look and he suggested changing the computer,, i suggest that u take it somewhere and let them drive it n let it die on them maybe they will have some knowledge of it....

P.S. let me know how it turns out....

Have a shop do a current ramp scope check of the pump, if any strange humps then put an OEM only pump back in.
