IIRC, a Dodge of that era would have a capped "Shrader valve" (looks like an R-12 AC service port) in the fuel rail interconnecting the injectors. You need to buy or borrow a gauge that will connect to that port.

The fuel pressure will be 40+ PSI... better find out the exact "spec's.

It have replaced the fuel filter in a '96, and, if your's is still made like that, the filter has 2 metal tabs that snap onto the pump assembly.

Hopefully, you can check the fuel pressure, and go from there. There are probably a dozen things besides a bad filter or pump that could cause the lack of power and stalling, but checking the fuel pressure is a good place to start.
