low oil psi/ level cutoff?
i have a 84 944 that starts and stalls i have tried everything i can think of. i did clarks tests on afm,tps coolant sensor, o2, i replaced the coolant sensor and fuel psi regulator, cleaned all grounds i could find, checked for 12v @ injectors i was wondering if these cars have a low oil psi or level cutoff, the psi gauge reads plenty, but now im grasping at straws.

No automatic cutout. There is only the pressure gauge and low level light.

it starts and how long does it run for? Check the J-Boot for tears and air leaks.
Is the fuel freah and adequate? Hows the spark? Did this start all at once or slowly?

There is a vacuum line that connects to the jboot right on the corner on the bottom that you cannot see...you can only feel it. Make sure it is in.

see if you can keep it alive with the throttle.
if you can, it's more likely (as these guys have said) a vac leak.
