Default Volvo runs for a few minutes and then dies

So I recently bought a 85 740 diesel that has been sitting for about a year because it died on the previous owner. At first i could not get it to start at all so I installed an electric in line fuel pump on it. Now it will fire right up but will only idle. If i press on the accelerator it will not rev up any higher. The car will run for about 5 minutes and then will die. I can start it again and it will continue to idle. I am assuming that the injection pump will need to be rebuilt but was wondering if there is anything else I should check.
