Ok fellow Camaro guys & gals. I have a technical issue I'm hoping to solve. I have a 91 RS 3.1L Auto. I bought the car from the original owner and this car is in excellent condition and is pretty much all original. The only things mechanical that have been changed on this car are the injectors. The intake gasket was leaking so when I replaced the gasket it was recommended I upgrade the injectors from 2 nozzle to 4 nozzle Bosch. All that said, here's the issue, which started long after I replaced the injectors.
The car will run fine then out of the blue (when coming to a stop) act like it's running on 3 cylinders and die.
The only way to restart the car is hold the throttle to the floor and to keep it running you have to keep it above idle. Eventually it will clear up and run fine (sometimes for the rest of the day). Then out of the blue it does it again.
A local shop had the car for 2 months and couldn't figure this out. The shop did replace the computer which solved another issue it was having.

Any suggestions?????
