89 305 TBI will start but not run..HELP!

Well, it was running fine until a couple days ago when I pulled in the drive, got out to go open the garage door, and the car died while I was opening the door. It will start back up and run ok for a second or two, then the idle drops and it starts choking sputters and dies. I have tried to start it back up and it keeps doing the same thing. When you turn the key you can hear the pump priming and the injector spray pattern looks good. I did notice that the injectors will spray for a bit, then stop, that is when it starts idling down and choking, then the injectors will spray some more and it will idle back up for a couple seconds, the injectors will stop, choking begins, injectors spray again, and so on. I can keep it running by spraying starting fluid in the TB. I have also replaced the fuel filter and pulled the cat off to check it. No Vaccum leaks at all and all the hoses are routed correctly. Any ideas?
