It starts occasionally, goes to 1000 rpm and starts to drop off, any pedal input, it dies immediately.

You know, that kind of sounds like a bad throttle position sensor. Here'* how to test it. https://www.gmforum.com/trouble-shooting-test-procedures-141/testing-tps-throttle-position-sensor-279319/

Another thing you can try is unplug your MAF. The engine will stumble and run rough, and you will get a SES light. But it should smooth out. If that happens and the engine runs right, the MAF is bad.

Have you changed the fuel filter? A bad fuel filter can still build pressure in the fuel line, but restricts flow.
