Here are a couple things I have heard of to check in situtations similar:
Check the fuel pressure regulator. Supposedly this is something that is easily replaceable and costs about $70.
I have also heard that if the fuel pump goes out, something within the whole fuel system will allow the car to get fuel while it is running. I don't remember exactly how this works but just remember reading about it.
I would also replace the fuel filter. Maybe it is restrictive enough where fuel can't pass through it efficiently.
Hope this gives you some help

This happened to me with my '99 Deville the day after I bought it. Exact same symptoms. Turns out it was the crank position sensor that was the culprit. Easy fix so check it out.

are you still stalling
my 97 with 145,000 miles wanted new plugs & wires
I was told they were replaced @ 98,000 but found that to be a lie when I changed the wires
