Default Eratic fuel delivery....

Ok My car is tuned about as simple as they come, open loop and in speed density. So all I am using is the Map and TPS and Optispark. I have a wide band in the car and 85% of the time the car runs awesome. then there is the occasions that it will go just dead lean for a second like something is shutting fuel down. Never have been able able to catch it with the laptop hooked up doing it. Any ideas or suggestions, anyone ever seen this problem? I do have a FP gauge in the car and no fluctuation in it at all.

I have tried two sets of Injectors, guess it could be the FP reg.

Well upon thinking about that just a minute, doubt the regulator would be a possibility. As the fuel pressure gauge is after the regulator.

Exactly what role does the opti play in order of firing the injectors, or rather working as the crack trigger to fire them? Could a opti going south be the issue?
