1983 oldsmobile cutlass cruiser 3.8 L V6 engine

My belts recently came off when I was driving home and my car over heated. I replaced the belts, but now my car starts (rough start) but does not stay on, as soon as I give it some gas, the car revs and then stalls as soon as the revving calms down. I'm currently changing my spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. If these changes don't work, what would be the next step?
