1991 Pontiac 6000 stalls out.

Car stalled out. ill crank fine, but engine goes dead when put in gear. Sounds like maybe it does not get fuel when engine rev's up. Is the fuel injection in the gas tank? How many injectors does it have?

The problem could be with the fuel pump, or pressure regulator, or maybe a clogged fuel filter.

I had that problem too. Turned out to be cracked throttle body where the idle speed motor threads on. Mine had throttle body injection
(cheap standard engine). So, the computer cannot compensate enough for all the air that's being sucked in through the crack/bad
gasket. Spray ether around the throttle body and might as well spray the intake manifold too, to see if any kind of vacuum leak is present
thus, making fuel/air mixture too lean.
