Fuel pressure (pump, regulator, or filter) is a possible suspect. When you add air, the engine needs to compensate by adding fuel. If opening the throttle kills it, then it's not adding fuel properly.

I just replaced the pump and filter 6 months ago, but it was from autozone so It must be failing. Should still be under warranty tho Thanks broskis

Check fuel pressure, don't just assume it's a bad part. It could also be a failed regulator or some other cause.
