Loosen the fuel line into the carb while the fuel pump is running and see if there is any fuel actually getting TO the carb. If it's getting there you could have a stuck needle and seat valve. If nothing comes out, loosen the line to the first fuel filter and see if you can get any fuel out. If not, the fuel filter could be TRYING to pump but the screen might be blocked or the pump motor might be working but the pump might be worn out.

Why will a 1992 olds Car shut down on heavy acceleration?
Weak fuel pump, plugged fuel filter, plugged catalytic converter, ignition system problem (not enough spark), plugged air filter. I would start with easiest to reach and cheapest filters and work to more expensive fixes. If your exhaust stinks - your cat is plugged. Any or all of the above could be the problem. Basically its probably not getting enough air or gas to accelerate properly.

Plugged jets or a low fuel level in the fuel bowl of the carburetor. Low fuel level can be caused by a weak fuel pump or more likely a problem with the needle and seat.

If your 1989 Honda Accord shuts off when you push the brakes and won't idle for more that a few seconds how do you fix it?
I had the same problem. Check your fuel filters to see if they are plugged, you may need to replace them. If the weather is hot, your car could be boiling the gas in the carburetor. Keep a full tank of gas (or at least more than half a tank) to cool off the return fuel. Increase the idle. If you do all of these things, it might help. It fixed mine.
