Welcome to the site.
Now that I have been courteous and polite, welcome to the most easily searched problem on this website.
You have a vac leak robbing vacuum for your shutoff function. I commend you for listing your car and year. Take a golf tee and plug the vac line to the green line near brake booster going through firewall. {tee in the rubber connector to the green line} Let car run for a couple minutes and see if it shuts off. Do same with both the yellow and the yellow/gray.
These are the most common sources. {green line is to climate control vac. stuff/ yellow to door locks and yellow/gray to vac reservoir}
You need to invest in a Mityvac for future troubleshooting. If neither one of the above fixes your issue then you have a leak elsewhere I imagine, and the '85 models have about 3-4 times the vac lines of the other years.....
If either one of the above lines being plugged does resolve your shutoff issues you will still need the Mityvac for further troubleshooting. The brown line near the green and yellow goes to your ignition switch then from there to the injection pump. That is your shutoff "circuit"....
