somethings wrong with the fuel system!

I have a 92 laser rs, and last week while I was driving my bro and sis to school in the morning I noticed that when I stepped on the gas pedal lightly, the car's rpms would drop and it would start to stutter. But when I pressed a bit harder the rpms went up it would be just fine. Except when the rpms were around 2k and lower, and when I stepped on the accelerator just a bit to maintain my speed the car would stutter again. Later on that day around noon while driving in St. Paul, the car all of a sudden started to stutter and died on me! I was going about 35 in 4th gear. I tried to start it up again but right when it started, the engine stuttered and died. Also when this happened, while the key was in the on position, the boost gauge's needle was at -7, then later on it went to 0psi and started jumping around. This made me think it was an electrical problem, also at this time we can hear the fuel pump relay start clicking abnormaly from behind my cd player. A week later while the car was sittin at the house because afer we towed it, I put in a used Fuel pump relay and its doing a little bit better now. But the problem now, is that when I start the car everything is normal, except when I press the gas pedal lightly, the rpms would drop and soon the car would die. Please help me out here! Also the check engine light is on and i do not have a data logger. Thanks for reading hope you guys can help me out here and sorry for the long essay there, just trying to throw out all the info about what happened.
