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?

Re: ENGINE SHUTS OFF

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