    Hope the switches on the throttle body were transfered over somehow. 89 should already have had the larger throttle body, no? Any how, you could be looking at a few things. Main pump going bad, fuel filter getting clogged, control pressure regulator going bad or even ignition problems but it would be just guessing at this point. With CIS the first thing one should do is a complete fuel pressure test as the system relies about 100% on the fuel pressure to function correctly.

    That device is for CIS-e and not CIS with Lambda control.
