    At the risk of sounding dumb...... Try turning up the idle?

      This happened to me often when I had my 89 rs 2.8, especially while turning into a parking space kinda slowly. It could be several things. Turning up your idle won't help, i tried that. It could either be your maf is going bad, dirty fuel injectors, or a clogged fuel filter. I would also try thirdgen.org. That's where I got all my help when I had my 3rd gens. I feel it's the best 3rd gen site.
