you might want to check the TPS and MAF connectors and clean off any corrosion. While you're at it, clean out the throttle with intake throttle body cleaner and a toothbrush. If you're still bored, pull off the hoses on the IAA control unit and spray in intake throttle body cleaner to break up carbon deposits. I had the same problem on my 87; cleaning out all the sensors, TBs, and IAA prevented the stumbling when the throttle was applied in first gear/low throttle applications.
