stuttering/won't idle Sign In

91 Chrysler New Yorker. Will only run if I feather throttle. Car LURCHES / Stutters violently- Will not idle at all. If I spray fuel into throttle body , she purrs just fine/ so no spark problems.
Have replaced fuel filter, and in tank fuel pump. $$ 180.00 ( OUCH! )
Anyone out there have some knowledge about this problem? Would really appreciate any info.
3.3 liter V6
Thanks much!!

With the engine stumbling, disconnect the vacuum line at the fuel pressure regulator. This will increase pressure 10 psi. If the engine now idles correctly suspect a lean condition. If no difference, I would recheck fuel pressure. You can also try pinching off the fuel return line and watch the idle. A faulty fuel pump check valve and faulty pressure regulator can direct fuel back to the tank instead of the injectors.
