Will do Sir, so first disconnect my fuel lines from the rail and pump the gas back into the tank?These sentences lead me to believe that there is 'junk' in your fuel tank. Initially, it clogged the filter then was likely replaced only to push more contaminates through the new one.
More testing can certainly be done to confirm but it is beginning to sound to me like the tank needs to come out.
Once it's out of the car, it needs to be worked over inside and out. My prediction is that you're going to find a fair amount of rust inside.
My next step would be this: Disconnect the fuel lines at the rail. Run extension hoses and pump all of that fuel into gas cans.

I don’t mean to sound dumb,Will do Sir, so first disconnect my fuel lines from the rail and pump the gas back into the tank?
Ok will do Sir, and not to sound dumb for asking again but do I siphon the gas from the gas tank into a gas can or from the fuel rail?Pump that gas into gas cans. Then look and see what the gas looks like and remove your new filter to see what it looks like. If there's a bunch of junk in it, then that junk is also in your injectors.

Will do what you said in the last post. And to be honest my gas tank is always below halfway, I usually just put in 5 or 10 dollars in and drive until my gas light turns on then I fill it with another 5 or 10 dollarsBy the way?
How long did this car sit with a partial tank of fuel in it?

Maybe for 4-5 days at most. But I live in Houston. And a few weeks ago it did rain hard and I had to drive home and my car stalled at a red light but started right back up. And 2 days after that my gas light turned on and that’s when I finally filled up the tank all the way up and the car wouldn’t start. Had to push start it and it was still very weak and feeling like it would dieWas there a period of time where it just [sat]? How long was that?
Will do today. So I just prime my fuel pump by turning the key, turn it off and then check the pressure? And what psi should I be atYou really need to rent or buy a fuel pressure guage and get a reading.
Will do, and a paper clip could work right? I’ll find wire if notHere you go
locate the test connectir under the hood and jump out the black/white and tan/green wire. The fuel pump should run continuously. You should have 39 psi on the guage.
once confirmed, remove the jumper.
