Thumbs up Vacuum leak?

Well, I have a 1994 gmc k1500 sierra and can't figure out what the heck is wrong with it. I've replace everything I can think to fix a vacuum leak. It will start and die at slowing down and stop signs. Sometimes won't even start. If I put gas in the carb then it will start most times. I am ready to shoot the darn thing. I appreciate any ideas! Thankyou in advance.

What all have you replaced so far?

Possibly a fuel pump going out. I have replaced mine quite a few times over the years. Blocked filter as well. Since its starting when you add fuel to the TB it doesn't sound like a spark issue more of a fuel concern. Certainly explain more about the symptoms. Is the engine light coming on, and are you pulling any codes?
