My 87 CX suffers occasional random stalls when slowing down for a stop. Removing, cleaning, and re-installing the MAF fixes it for about a year. It's a good idea to clean the MAF every time you change/clean the air filter. There's also a water temperature sensor that feeds the engine temp to the computer (not the sensor that feeds the digital gauges.) It's located next to the very last injector (right of car). I suspect mine was causing the car to run very poorly and quit on hot days/hard use, so I replaced it. Now I'm just waiting for a good hot day, and a long highway trip to make sure I got it.
