The only things that can cause is a weak full pump or clogged fuel line. Did you use an AC Delco pump?

Please remove the fuel line up at the fuel rail and check the volume which is the issue.

Please let us know what happens.

Thanks for the tip, I removed the line at the rail and the volume was super low so I did some checking and found a smashed spot in the fuel line like something in the road hit it so it took some doing but I replaced the fuel line and the car works great again. Thanks again I love this site.
