Maintenance/Repairs

I have a 1987 nissan maxima, has been running great and has 240000 miles on it. The other day i got in the car, started it, and it ran while i scrapped the windows, I then put the car in reverse and it died. so for the past week i can start the car ( relley warm to day so not a temp issue) and as soon as i give it gas it dies. i changed the fuel filter and can hear the fuel pump running whn i turn on the ignition. could it be a mass air sensor issue?

Thanks

all for your help!
