looked at Google webmaster tools and noticed that Google had taken away nearly 1000 links from the site (in the external links section). Would this effect the position?

It may. I had the reverse happen. I was baffled by the poor ranking of a couple of my pages for several months. These pages also, were not listed in either the internal or external links section of GWT despite having a reasonable number of both. One day, I was surprised to see a substantial rankings improvement for these pages and when I checked GWT, the external links had been updated to include these pages.

Why would Google strip links or ignore them?

I noticed many of the pages containing external links to mine had grey toolbar PR.
