Exclamation 1990 944 S2 Cab HELP!

I was driving home when she started to sputter, then when I pressed the gas it dropped and I was hard pressed to get 15 mph out of her. I finally got to a safe place where I could stop. I let her rest a bit and I was able to re-start. She was fine again for a little bit, when the symptoms came back. I was barely able to get her home. Now she will not stay started. She turns over and acts normal for a second and then shuts off.
My first thought was the fuel relay DME. Got a new one and replaced, no change.
Next I pulled the fuel filter and found it was the original dated 4/14/1989.
I've decided to go ahead and replace the pump as well while I have everything apart.

Any other suggestions? What else should I go ahead and change while I'm at it?

Thanks in advance, Chris
