Car running lean when gas pedal isn't pressed
First off my car is a 88 Turbo II. Here are the things I have done to it.
I Rebuilt the engine 1000 miles ago estimate. (this year)
RTEK 2.1, New plugs.
Car is leaning out when I let off the gas or not really pressing it when driving. Just holding it cruising along. At one point this morning I pressed the gas down to the floor practically and the car didn't respond. A couple times before this ride car would stumble a little when I was cruising, but as soon as I give it gas it runs and boosts like a champ. This morning I was in heavy traffic this morning. The car did cut off a couple times as well, but thankfully when I let the clutch go it started again. The car did stop on me a few weeks ago after 180 mile trip going down the rode. The next morning it started back up. The one thing I know is messed up right now is one of the wires that connects to the oil pan broke. I have tried to solder that cable a few times and it doesn't hold up to well.
Any ideas? My brain isn't really working as I write this and I am at work so I can't think of anything else to add at this time.
Thanks,
Shane

One of my Turbo'd cars would go to 40 on the AFR scale when I took my foot off the gas,but drive at 12.,13 ish..Lower when ya punch it of course.
It had to do with fuel cut to the rear rotor on decel.
