Default fuel starvation while braking

here's the problem:

if the fuel level is under about 2/3rds full, the car will want to die when i come to a stop. it gets worse as the fuel tank empties. at 1/2 tank I just have to blip the throttle slightly but by 1/4 tank I have to blip the throttle several times before coming to a complete stop to keep it alive. Last night I accelerated in reverse pretty hard and it felt like i hit the limiter, except I was only at 4k rpm so it's definitely a fuel issue, not iavc related. oh yeah also checked fuel pressure when it died and it was reading low ~12psi.

so far Ive replaced the fuel relay and fuel pump. sock was on attached on the oem pump and is also on the aftermarket pump.

what could cause this? is there a baffle in the gas tank that could have come loose/off? the car is driveable but it sucks stopping to fill up every 4gal

any help is appreciated

ill try different injectors but i don't know why fuel pressure would drop from dirty injectors.

anyone ever had a problem with the baffle coming off inside the tank?
