I just installed a CAI on my 1990 240sx hatch, and When i first backed up its choked a little and died. Then i restarted the car and backed up a little faster, and test drove it around for about 10 minutes. I pulled back into my driveway then put it into reverse and it backed up fine no sign of choking. Could this be in relation to my fuel injectors from my other post or could it be the MAF sensor resetting?

Well when i touch 3 of the fuel injectors the car sounds like its about to die and shakes a little, like its coughing. I really think this is where im losing pressure and not being able to accelerating quickly between 1000-2500rpm. Where can I test the injectors to see if they are working properly, or does anyone else think its some other problem? The car has 100000 miles, its a 1990 240, exhaust, CAI, new hiflow cat converter, doesnt leak oil, and runs fine, but every once in a while when i start it black smoke comes out of the exhaust when i hit the gas then dissapears.

Dude I answered how to do this in one of your previous posts. You need a digtal volt/ohm meter, set it to measure ohms, all your injectors should read ~the same. If not the ones that don't read the same are bad. You can connect both probes to your injectors (you just have to look on the plug to see which is positive and which is negative).

Go to the nissan online mechanic forum and ask NISTECH if you need further clarification.
