Could use a period or comma sometime.
First, any codes? SES light on?
Second, 1989's have the multitec injectors which are bad, PERIOD. If you had them flushed I'm assuming you used infector cleaner. VERY few cleaners were approved for them. I would read the threads here about injectors. Ohm them both cold and hot to see if they are bad.
Before I had major injector problems (ECM was shutting BOTH banks down) the car's idle was always suspect, didn't want to make a left turn in front of traffic unless had ALOT of room. Since injector replacement car runs like a vette should.
Take FICINJECTORS advice on injectors, he's the expert and best vendor around.

Fuel pump pressure in spec, but a little eratic. Also bleeds back.
Exhaust smells like its hot. Major tuneup done, new water pump and battery.
The odd time while driving, when you jump on it to pass, it feels like it quit. Let up on throttle, jump on it again, and it takes off like a rocket HELP ME PLEASE
