When I try to accelerate the engine spit and sputters and almost dies. It acts like it is not getting enough fuel. I replaced the fuel pump about 2 months ago. I have no codes in the computer. Any advice about what to look for?

I checked the fuel pressure and it runs about 58 psi when I first turn the key then after it is started it runs about 48. Driving down the road the lowest I saw was 42 psi.
