How do you know it's fuel injectors shutting down?
If memory serves, 1988 is throttle body fuel injection.
The O2 sensor would not cause this (just make it run like crap). I assume you still have spark.

Check your oil pressure sensor. If the ECM detects low or no oil pressure, it will shut down the motor.
Do you still have fuel pressure when it stalls but no injector action? Low or no pressure will cause the system to stall (bad fuel pump).

I believe you can blink the error codes through the engine light (a chiltons manual should have the procedure). This should narrow down what is wrong.

Good Luck
