apparent lean running issue?

[kneale at coslink.net]

Unfortunately, I don't have the link on this computer, but somewhere in the
Audifans archives there have been repeated references to a page describing
and picturing how to test the intake hoses with slight air pressure using a
rubber end cover for a 3-inch sewer line with a schrader valve glued into
the end.

Did you check the igloo for leaks. They're kind of hard to find.

OK well, I've got every vacuum leak that I know of taken care of, just put
a 
new VC gasket on, replaced 90% of my vac lines (the rest I know are fine), 
put a new o-ring on my oil dipstick, new oil filler cap, silicone breather 
hoses from 034, etc. I wish I had a WB 02, but my narrowband shows a 
definate trend of running lean. At idle sometimes it'l wobble back and
forth 
around stoich, going slightly(like one "bar") rich which is the way I had 
originally set it. But most of the time it bounces slightly lean to high 
stoich, sometimes rich, and the idle surges as it changed. When I first hit 
the gas to accelarate, it'll snap down so lean its not on the gauge and
then 
come back up, bouncing from like 3 bars of lean to 1 bar of rich, while 
spending more time in lean. Under full throttle it'll go rich like it 
should, but the second I let off the slightest bit it'll start bouncing
lean 
again even under boost!!!. on decel(letting my foot off completely from 
doing like 50) the exhaust pops irradically, and the gauge is all over the 
place but likes to hang out in the rich area( my car's an autobox, so no 
decel valve) I felt it miss twice the other day under mild accelaration. I 
was thinking perhaps it was my injectors/seals because for a while I had a 
leaky VC gasket, so maybe the seals got soaked with oil and got destroyed. 
Any suggestions are awesome 

Oh yea, its a 87 5ktcs 

TIA
