84 4KQ Injection help needed.

definitely sounds like air leak. It can be intermittent or constant. Remove 
every hose from air-flow sensor to the manifold and check for cracks/leaks. 
The cracks can be hard to find until you take off the hose and look at the 
bottom and under the clamps. My car would die sometimes when coming to a 
stop and then stopped running at all when the hose on my turbo cracked. It 
had been that way for a while prolly, it just came apart under the clamps 
cuz of age and oil. Also check for ignition coil connections. good luck.
