Default HELP!! 97 5.7L DIES AT IDLE or DECELERATING???

I have a 5.7L in a GMC Van it dies when idling, and when letting off the gas 3 times today. Then it takes a few tries to restart. This just started yesterday. I changed the Fuel Fiilter and put Octaine booster in with no luck. Could it be the fuel pump or what have you found it to be.

It sucked when it dies right in front on 2 cops and I blocked the whole turn lane Atleast no one could honk or get road rage with the cops there. They were even nice enough to wait til I got it started.
