Default 93 Suburban pulsating at idle

I'm kinda stumped. Problem was it was acting like no fuel or not enough. It would idle rough and would stall when stopping. Fuel pressure was low, I replaced the fuel pump (complete) the tank vents fuel tank (rusted, (didn"t want to take a chance), fuel injectors , fuel regulator, 02 sensor and temperature sensor. Every time I replaced something it runs good for a couple of days (smooth as silk) it goes back to pulsating. No vacum leaks and the las thing I changed was the temp sensor, it rough idled and when I disconnected the temp sensor the idle raced so I put in a new one and it was fine for a few days and then it went back to a crazy idle. I also replaced the distributor cap and the ICM and other components attached to the carb. Any help out there I would appreciated. Next is the CPU or Cat.

You didn't list it but did you replace the fuel filter after changing the pump ?
Did you use a GM sensor, aftermarket ones are junk.

If it ran OK for a few days after replacing the temp sensor then acted up I would suspect that sensor went bad. Use the AC one.

After the fuel pump was changed it ran fine for a couple of day, then it acted up, after the fuel injectors and regulator it ran good for a couple of days. The o2 sensor same thing and the temp sensor, same thing. I just replaced the fuel pump relay and it seems fine but haven’t driven it yet. Very strange. I am using ac deco but the parts are from China. Go figure.
