Check your dashpots for proper function and/or adjustment.

What year Toros?

How do the carbs perform when you aren't slowing down? Any flat spots? Bogs? Are the symptoms identical in both cars?

2 questions:
Are you using premium fuel without ethanol?
Do these cars often sit with ethanol fuel in them?
