1995 Pontiac transport engine problem

My Pontiac transport started stalling on me occasionally which became more frequently but started every time after. I started the car and came back in the house only to realize it died after a couple of mins. I started it again the next day and it ran fine until i started accelerating it. It started acting up and became intermittent and eventually died. Also noticed that when revved up to 4000 RPM, the speedo also rises to about 20 km/hr.
Any input towards solving this problem would be appreciated. Thanks

Start by checking the fuel pressure with a gauge if its within specs to rule out a failing fuel pump-
