Default Win ALDL numbers

I was having some problems with the car(hard starting).The problems began when I used some Seafoam fuel system cleaner in the fuel tank.The car was verry hard to start sometimes.I have ran about 4 tanks of 94 oc fuel in the car and now it seems to start and run ok.I have ordered a set of Bosh 3 injectors from FIC but I don't know whether I should bother installing them or not.I have run the car on the win aldl software in the 10k mode(high idle)and the blm is around 117 and the INT is around 125-130 when hot(idle at 1100 rpm).Would installing the new injectors bring these numbers back to 128?Would installing the new injectors make the car run better?The car has no codes,starts well,idles at 600 rpm in gear and seems to run well(I haven't had the car verry long so I am a little unsure about performance)Sorry for the long post but if it was your car what would you do?Nothing?Install the new injectors?Wait and see?The car is an 88.

You didn't say if you checked the fuel pressure. That is what I would have done first. Also, replace your fuel filter if you didn't do it after the flush. All the stuff you cleaned out probably jammed it all up. I doubt it made it to the injectors, but if you are going to replace them anyway do it. First I would put in a new fuel filter then run it with the old injectors to see what happens.

As far as the BLM values, they may have been like that prior to the flush b/c it seems like you are pulling some fuel from the base maps. Is the car all stock?

The fuel "sock" on the pump might be clogged also.

Frankly, your BLM numbers are not that bad. These cars never just sit at 128. Atmospheric onditions and fuel quality alone can explain what you're seeing.
