So I'm going to put the car back together and se if it dis when coming to a stop. So The scenario is accelerate rapidly stop rapidly idle drops below normal and car dies ?
Some OBDII systems will shut fuel injectors off under certain misfire conditions.
The feature is designed to protect the Catalytic converter.
So then they do not show misfires for that cyl.
I do not know if Porsche of the early era's like ours does this or not.
Doubtful but possible.
Info on the more advanced workings of the Porsche ECU's is very limited

Crossed injector wires would explain the backfire through the intake.
I bet if you do a "PROPER" LOL vacuum test now your numbers will be improved.
