I need help

my car started doing Last sat. I was rolling up to a light and my car shut of then I started it up and it did it everytime I let it drop to where it would normally idle. It will start up right a way but it dies soon after it runs if you stay on the gas it doesnt build any boost. If you figure it out or if you have any suggestions let me know.
I bought the car (87 TII) last friday and this happend the following day late at night. I drove the car home from va to pa and it was fine despite starting hard. I checked all my vac lines and the intake pipes. could it be the injectors, because after i try to run it you can smell alot of gas and there seemed to be some gas ontop of the housing near the fuel rail
thanks

Could be pulsation damper leaking. Get the leak fixed immediately.
Check search-leaking fuel in 2nd gen
Idle is a big problem-TPS adj?-Once again you can check search idle problem.

you might want to check your afm the wires tend to get loose out of the afm so move the wirring clip around and then you might want to see if the afm is loose from the hose...if you tilt the afm like turn the afm to the left a little it stops that or atleast on an NA make sure the screw is tight holding the afm
