1989 Chevorlet Camaro 2.8L V6 FI- cant figure out

When i start the car in the morning it wants to cut out, but if you give it some gas it will get going. When im driving it runs through the gears and shifts fine, but when it comes to a stop and its idleing the oil pressure will drop almost to 0 and it wants to cut off and sometimes will. I have replaced the spark plugs and changed the oil and filter, transmission filter, fuel filter, o2 sensor, oil pressure sensor, and i even soaked the fuel injectors in seafoam and poured some into the gas tank. The only other thing is that it is slightly leaking transmission fluid from around the speedo gear. Any suggestions?

Check the fuel pressure & bleed down rate.
Check the tps values at idle through wot.
Did you replace the cap, rotor, & ign. wires?

highly possible you have a vaccum leak...I would check all vac lines and hoses....and that damn brake booster(just changed mine) caused all kinds of problems
