Try swapping out AMM-Air Mass Meter, it's the black plastic & metal cylindrical looking thing just aft of the air filter but before the turbo plumbing. Easy DIY. If you can swap out your old one with somebody's borrowed AMM who you know has a good one and the car runs fine (on a cold start) then you know it's a bad AMM. About $130 from Townsend in North Carolina (among other TSN supporters). That was the problem with my '86 900T (157K) last year. Replacement AMM cured problem. Also double check your vacuum hoses, they can also manifest same characteristics; RPM up-down-stall problem as bad AMM. Oxygen Sensor is probably last resort.
