740GLE Dies when idling 700 1988

My 740GLE (172K miles) has suddenly started dying when I'm at a stop light, or if it just sits and idles for about 5 minutes. Sometimes I can restart it, but it usually dies within several seconds. If I let it sit, it'll start and run for about a minute or two, then die again. I replaced the fuel inj. relay with a known good one, but no joy. Tried tapping on various relays in the relay bay on the center console, and occasionally it would start back up, but I am thinking the problem is elsewhere. Has anyone else had this problem, and do you have any suggestions? I'm familiar with where the RPM sensor is at, but I've never changed one. They look kinda hard to get to.
