I had the same symptoms you descride last fall in my 87.
It turned out to be the fuel pump. It was intermittant at first.

How many miles are on the pump? Mine had 135K when it failed.
Do you have a bentley manual? In it it describes the procedure for verify a faulty pump.
You can energize the pump at the fuse panel under the hood with a jumper wire. ( I can't remember which fuse it is off the top of my head)
Let it run for a couple of minutes. Mine sounded fine for the first 20 to 30 seconds then would slowing die down.

If you want PM me with you phone number and I can walk you throught the procedure tomorrow night.
