302 problems driving

Update: I changed the fuel pressure regulator just for the hell of it my truck now runs and drives in reverse and first but if i shift to second it loses all power the rpms drop way down it wont rev up but is still running if I push in the clutch it picks up rpms and idles high

For the life of me I cant find out what my problem is my truck will fire up and idle at about 1200 to 1550 rpms and then after a few minutes will drop to 800 and if i get in and put in first gear and try to drive as soon as it gets over 1500 rpms it stalls the engine and drops rpms to almost 0 and dies if I dont push the clutch back in but in neutral it will rev up no problem I have new injectors new spark plugs new gas tank fuel pumps and filters on top of all of this I put in a new starter solenoid and my start cranks even with the key off and in my pocket if I tap the solenoid it will stop for a bit then start cranking the starter again sorry for the lack of punctuation and run-on sentence thank you for any information you can provide
