I had a GL that did that for awhile...turned out to be a bad cap and rotor. Once I replaced that, it ran like a champ.
If I were you, I would check all the vacuum hoses (spray some water on the injecters and hoses, if the engine bogs down or changes frequency you have found your problem). If that checks out, look at the cap and rotor, fuel pump relay, and then finally the engine harness.
I have seen some of my volvo's cut out because of bad fuses. I once had one where the fuse looked great, it turned the car on and would idle in place for hours...as soon as you applied any type of load to it, it would cut out and die. I took the fuse out of the #7 and the #5 holder and it litterally turned to dust between my fingers. the metal strap was non-existant, just in place to hold a minimal charge for the pumps to run.
Let us know what ends up happening.

Good luck
Ryan
