Stalling problem - getting worse 200 1991

Hi all, having some pretty bad stalling problems with my 240, with none of the usual suspects being the problem. I apologize for the length, but I am going to try and be as specific as possible.

Here is the run-down of what happens, starting when I turn my car on in the morning. I live in Michigan - symptoms are exponentially worse when there is moisture in the air.

- Turn ignition, typically no issues starting
- Drive for about a mile, stop at a 4-way intersection stop. At acceleration, car will sputter a bit, but usually not stall.
-2 miles into commute, car will begin stalling
-Upon restart, it will usually take turning key up to 90 seconds to get the car to turn over.
-Getting the car to start is usually accompanied by the sound of the oil pump being frustrated, a lot of LOUD popping. Typically, after the two mile mark, the car will continue to stall for about three minutes if it is decelerated.
- I usually shift the car into neutral at stop, and then into drive when I am safe to make my turns to allow continued acceleration to hopefully prevent stalling, but usually when the car is shifted into drive, it will automatically sputter and stall.
-Occasional fuel smell, but other than that, no strange smells.

Here's what we've done:
-Replaced the coil
-Replaced MAF sensor
-Cleaned and lubed idle air control
-fuel filter change + cleaned high pressure fuel pump connections
-cleaned throttle body + vacuum ports
-replaced coolant temp sensor
-replaced o2 sensor
-checked harmonic balancer to distributor timing

Where should we look next? Have any of you experienced anything similar?

Also, unsure if this is related at all, but often upon restarting, the SRS light will be illuminated, with power to the center console of the vehicle (stereo, heater fan, etc) not working.
