210k miles on a '93 245.

This morning I started the car and when I pressed the brake pedal the engine revved up. Then the engine stuttered and stopped. When I started it again and pulled onto the street, it was stalling as I drove up the street even when I was depressing the accelerator. (I turned around and parked the car and got a ride with someone else.) Tonight I started the car and the check engine light was on so I read the code as 1-1-3 (Fault on fuel injectors).

I'm thinking the problem may either be the brake booster (since the engine stalled this am after the brake pedal was depressed) OR a fuel injector problem (since the code is on and when I drove it tonight the brake pedal didn't seem to affect the rough stalling). Need some ideas of what to check to narrow this down. Thanks,

Cabbie
