    car stumbles and runs lean on 1/8 throttle

    86 omni glhs. 87 lm module with custom cals.
    Symptoms. The car starts fine, idles fine and anything over 1/8 throttle and car runs great. But it is when I shift out of first into second or even third or when cruising I seem to notice it the most. If I let off the throttle when cursing and just slowly step on the throttle (as to keep up with traffic at a steady pace) The car stumbles and shows lean up to 17 for a split second then goes back to normal. If I really ease on the throttle I can make it happen for a little longer. What could this be?

    I have tried different cals from different people and still the same thing. Thought this would rule out the cal thing, although this could still be a possibility.
    I tried to check the TPS for a dead spot. With an Ohm meter it seems to slowly go up and down with no cut outs. What would the Ohm meter do in a dead spot, cut out?
    I do not think it is the injectors, because the idle is fine and I ran some sea foam through there not too long ago.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Have you checked your fuel pressure? Have you replaced your fuel filter?

    Fuel pressure is good. 40 psi at idle and looks to go up as I am on the gas. Fuel Filter i have not changed in a few years. but figured it was not this as it only seems to happen in the same spot. I will change it though just in case.
