My '85.5 was doing this. Would start and run well for a few seconds, then die suddenly. Blipping the throttle had no effect; when it decided to die, there wasn't anything I could do to change the situation. I could re-start it right away, it would run a few more seconds, then die again.
I swapped the DME and the problem went away.
Check the obvious stuff first, but it might be time for a brain transplant. I was able to use a borrowed DME for a while, but I just recently swapped my original one out for a rebuilt from ecu doctors in Florida.
