Default 89 740 GL starting problems

My 740 is very hard to start. When it does start it may run at idle for several minutes but eventually stalls before getting up to oper. temp. Also when running, if I try to rev the engine it stalls immediately so I haven't been able to drive it. Items replaced on this car within the last year include entire exhaust with new oxygen sensor, RPM sensor, radio supression relay and fuel injection relay. The main fuel pump and filter were replaced 2 yrs ago. I do not smell any gas when cranking the engine and I think it may be starved for fuel. However, I can here the fuel pump operating. The Check-Engine light does not come on while the car is running and this problem started "all of a sudden" last weekend. Any help on this is appreciated.

After is starts and stalls try pulling codes before touching the ignition switch.
The computer might pick something up. But if you cycle the key it might not.

Could also be a Power stage.
