Have you tested the fuel pressure, when symptoms are good and bad ? That is the only thing not listed. Rent or buy pressure tester. Then include your vehicle specs so we know what your working with.

To give some more details for my friend here.
It's an '88, inline 6 ,manual (ax-5?). We have cleaned some of the connections, the ones dealing with the fuel pump and injectors, and refreshed the c101 (God that thing really was like tar). Have not added or cleaned grounds.
