Data logging is a good place to start. It helped me diagnose a vacuum leak that two mechanic friends thought was a fuel system issue. It will also let you see where you can fine tune the programming to suite your particular setup.
Agree - get ALDL cable and WinALDL program. It is must for any TBI equipped car or truck!
