If it's really lean and since you can keep it running by jockeying
throttle opening it might be throttle position sensor (TPI) or, and less
likely, an idle air control (IAC) that's wide open. Knowing the fuel
pressure on the injector rail (static and running) would be handy info.
How about a loose connector or broken wire in the injector harness?
(low current shortening the fuel bursts).

I'd tend to think that at this struggling stage of operation, the ECM
hasn't brought the O2 sensor into the loop yet. (IIRC, that's about 104
deg on the '89)

Thanks for the ideas, I like the injector harness idea, I will
investigate, and the TPS - I think I should be able to trouble shoot
that with a multi meter. That could expalin a lot of what is
happening. I did manage to bring the coolant temp up to about 160 so
it should have been in to the 'loop' by then.
Thanks also to 'Dad' for the codes. I think this car has only OBD 1 so
I am not sure how much crossover there is.
I am trying to get a crash course in C4 maintainence here, I have owned
this car for 10 yrs. and besides a bad IAC and one relay (burnoff for
O2 sensor) it has run like a watch the whole time (total 56K miles).
Not much incentive to delve into tuning issues on it.
This malady was very sudden onset, brought on by a bad battery, which I
should have mentioned earlier.
When the battery was replaced the car "woke up" doing this.

Again, thanks all for the tips and hints
Dave G.

After 49 years driving Corvettes one day on a flatbed doesn't dampen my
desires much. There was a burnt out ballast on a '61 that let me down once
but I jumpered it out with a hair pin until I got home. The sad part about
that is that she, the hair pin and the '61 are all gone now. As a working
set they were great, but so goes life. Time changes allot of things, my '57
cost lest than $4,000, and the '98 cost less than $40,000, gas was .28 cents
and----------- you get the drift.

Look at the bright side, you're not gone.
