Have you checked the fuel system? Maybe a clogged fuel filter.

Sounds more like air/vac leak to me if you can maintain running at higher rpm.

Vac hoses, intake leak, but I'd ck vac lines really well.

Good to hear things are fine. That damn 80 amp fuse, I have replaced that three time on my 88 SE.
