My 1990 9000 CD Turbo did the exact same thing after I let it sit for 3 or 4 months. It would idle fine, but as soon as I took off it would die. (Auto Tranny). I had taken the air intake into the throttle body off to spray it with some cleaner. I THOUGHT I had tightened the clamp down tight. Tightened it twice, even. I got the car eventually far as the I-5 on ramp (1 mile) after "re-tightening clamp" and upon a hard acceleration- BOP!- the intake hose came off! I found a screwdriver in the trunk, and totally cranked on the clamp and noticed there was a tight spot in the screw- got past that tight spot and was able to crank the clamp screw 2 or 3 more times!
Sorry this was long, but hope it helps!
