ENGINE SHUTS OFF

Have a 1987 Z28 5.0 port tuned injection. Driving is fine, seems to sputter a little when I stomp the gas a little on the highway. Major concern is once it warms up and I come to a red light the idling drops very low and it shuts off. It will start right up but annoying it shuts off all the time. Help?

Check the Coil on the distributor, also check your ignition control module (ICM). Both can be bench tested with a multimeter.
