87 GMC Safari MiniVan Boggs Out

It's a 4.3L V6 with TBI. I've got the cover off so I can see the Throttle Body. It idles OK but when I try to accelerate it boggs out. I can see the cone of fuel OK when it idles but it (the cone) cuts off when I accelerate.

Is there a way to check the fuel pressure? Could it be the fuel pump?
Could it be the fuel pressure regulator? How can I check?

Thanks Here's a follow-up.

Vacuum leaks!

It likes everything to be buttoned up. I replaced the "TBI to Intake Manifold" gasket and that helped quite a bit. Also there are 2 gaskets for the air cleaner collar that were completely gone. And I had a vacuum line that I forgot to reconnect.

I learned how to read the engine codes ("Service Engine Soon" light) and that was very helpful.Car Repair Talk's forum.
