85 iroc-z intermittently runs bad

5.0 tpi starts good and will run well at idle and all speeds until it is stopped and re started. Then it runs terrible,. injectors at 16 ohms, plugs dry,
no vacuum leaks, please help

It sounds like your ecm might be the cause of the issue. The 1226870 is the worst ecm for tpi.
