While that may explain some of his symptoms, this one still stands out:
He may have more than one problem.
It also dies at random times when slowing down to turn or stop

my 94 SSE did that when it got to a half tank or below when the pump was going out, the pump, strainer, and filter were changed and havent had the problem since. My 92 SSEi is now doing the same thing, but that is 1/4 tank and under, and i really dont feel like replacing the fuel pump right now, but it will prolly happen sooner or later, From your symptoms, i am seriously thinking it to be the fuel pump/strainer, cause it is a pain the butt to make a sharp right and then have to coast off to the side of the road to restart, or when someone pulls out in front of u and u slam on ur brakes, and car dies, but havent had this problem after replacing the above mentioned parts.

I did have vacuum leaks before, but have since replaced almost all the lines. The stumbly at low rpms could be plug wires or coil pack I suppose, and not associated with the dying out, When it died 3 times in a row the other day it was right at 1/2 tank. Also, about a week ago, I had a problem with it holding rpms when I let off the gas, it wouldnt slow down, in neutral it went to 4 grand, turned it off and restarted it, and it just started choking out every once in a while, I havent had anything weird like that since I replaced the tPS though

You said you got a used computer? Did it come out of a Pontiac Bonneville with the proper gear ratio and the like? also did you swap out the EPROM from your stock computer to your new( Used ) unit?
