Default 84 c4 stalling problems

hi i have a 1984 c4 automatic with cfi when i hit the gas real hard taking off at a light it'll sputter and die although sometime i can save it but if it does die i have to have the key on and pull the fuses for the injectors and then put then back in and it'll fire right up an if i don't you can sit there crankin it until the battery dies an it wont fire. If anyone knows what is causing this and how to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated, and thank you for all of your help.
