1990 Bonne SE Part Throttle Stumble
This one has me stumped. Car sat outside all winter (fuel pump quit) Had fuel pump and filter replaced two weeks ago - when I picked up the car from the shop, it started and idled fine until I got about 1 block away, then it was acting like the ECM hadn't gotten
itself dialed in yet(loss of power,part throttle stumble,dies at idle) I drove it on city streets out to the freeway about 4-5 miles - this is usually enough drive time to reset the ECM - if I shut the ignition off and restart right away it runs fine for about 20-30 seconds,
then starts missing,stumbling,etc. Full throttle is fine, doesn't skip a beat. I have tapped hard on the ECM(no effect) disconnected the MAF(no effect)Seafoamed it through the vacuum line in the throttle body - poured the last half of the Seafoam it the tank,thinking I
may have a sticky injector. I haven't yet checked the connector to ignition module(remember car sat outside all winter-under the hood it shows),haven't checked IAC yet,
or EGR. Will have some time this weekend to do some more troubleshooting. Am I
missing something obvious? I want this car running right as I am planning on selling it.Car ran perfect last fall B4 fuel pump quit -had just done new coil pack,plugs,wires. No codes
set by ECM. Anyone have any ideas? Thanx.

The idle changing after 20-30 seconds has me thinking O2 sensor. The first 20-30 seconds the engine runs without the O2 sensor and then stitches to real time data.
