I have an 83 900 Turbo (342,000 miles!) and I was getting the symptoms you described. It was the connection to the Hall Transmitter unit on the distributor. I don't know if a 9000 even has that, but if you have a connection on the distributor housing (not the cap)... Try this: when it's running ok at idle push & move the connector a little. If it starts to bog down or die - wrap it up nice & tight with electrical tape so that it can't move. Mine was driving me nutty, but now.......... purrrrrrrrrrfect.

Any ideas?
