Here's the latest:
Finally found a shop that could do the job right.. there's nothing wrong with my engine!
I had initially taken it to Blood Enterprises in Auburn, WA but the result was:
1) Mr Blood could not get it tuned.. suspect he does not really know much about this issue and just wanted to rid himself of the dilemna
2) My windshield chrome trim has two nice scratches in it
3) Someone at Blood used my chrome front hoop bumper to pull on to move the car (a BIG no-no) and pulled the support tube out of the socket receiver. Fixing that today
4) Because he told me the engine was "hurt" I paid $240 to truck it to my buddy's shop where we discovered the problem was operator error at Blood
5) Paid Mr Blood
way too much for very little result!
I finally took it to a really great local shop:
Horsepower Connection in Olympia/Thurston County.

Brian is a great guy and very competent. He got it going with a complete reprogramming, reattaching the PCV valve and some adjustments and 3 hours on the dyno. Far less cost than Blood, to boot.
Must replace my hokey stock throttle cable bracket so I'll be going back there for a little final work when the part comes in, but I drove her home last night and she's running great with the EFI.. finally!!!
