How old are your O2 sensors? Might try unplugging it, and see if the problem goes away.

Was this the original TPI? Some of the earlier units had injectors that today's gas will mess up and then cause poor light acceleration and cruising smoothness due to lean out.

Thanks....All TPI injectors were replaced 3000 miles ago. Worked great until fuel pump went bad and was replaced OEM. Nothing but fuel starvation like symptoms ever since!
