problems with my corsica Sign In

I recently bought a 1991 chevy corsica with a 3.1L V6. When I bought it and drove it home, it started and ran just fine. I went yesterday, got plates, insurance, and everything to make it legal, and filled up the gas tank. I went to leave later in the day, and it turned over, but just wouldn't start. I accidently left the mirror lights on, so I came back later, jump started it, and it started fine. I was driving it around a bit, and whenever I got on the gas pedal even remotely hard, it would die. I brought it home, and let it idle for a bit, and it died, and I couldn't get it started again. I jump started it again today, it ran fine. I assumed the battery was the problems, seeing as how jumping it worked to get it started. I went out, bought a brand new battery, tried to start it, and no luck. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

I just went through all that with my '91 Chevy Corsica that I've had for 6 years. After putting new plugs and wires and an O2 sensor and fuel filter and fuel injector cleaner in it. Finally the problem was the fuel pump! Good luck to you.

heresy; Be sure to have the charging system checked. If battery voltage drops too far, the computer will 'run home to mama'.
