car dies while driving 200 1983

My 83 245 turbo has gotten into a habit of dieing while i drive. It will always restart, but will die immediately unless giving it gas as soon as it starts. Its happening so often now, that I've become pretty good at slipping into neutral and restarting, then back on my way with out losing much speed. I've checked all fuses, fuel injector relay, and grounds to the fuel pump and in-tank pump. I have done a simple visual of the vacuum hoses, Is there some tests i could do to see if any are leaking? any other ideas of what to look for? are there some other ground points i should check? I had a bad harness, and repaired by soldering in some new wiring. The same problems occurred before and after. I've had the in-tank pump replaced about 6 months ago.

thanks

-Bruce
