Default no start cant find the problem HELP!!!!

ok i have a 95 3.8l mustang automatic, the other night i was driving and the car started sputtering but it came too and drove fine for a few more miles, then the check engine light started flashing and the car died. i kept trying to restart it and it would sputter for a few seconds and it would die again. yesterday when i tried again it started and would stay at idle but if i tried to give it a little gas it would die, but if i gave it full throttle it would run around idle rpm but ran like crap. i recently did a tune up and have spark i cant test fuel pressure dont have a guage but if i depress the shrader valve fuel spews out. help me out plz. any help would be appreciated.

i had similar problems with my first stang and it was the alternator, as much as the gas idle and car dying, id say look at all your vacuum's etc, under the hood and make sure there all connected, at my job someone left one off and the car would start but if u werent giving it gas it would die immediatly.

this may sound stupid, but are you low on gas? i always try to think of the simple fixes first. my buddy's ram was braking very very poorly, and he was convinced it was the calipers...i checked under the hood, and his brake fluid resivoir was BONE DRY. we filled it, and like magic..better brakes.

if you have gas, then could be a lot of things...you could scan tool it at advance auto, see what the trouble codes tell you. that would be a good start.
