only runs on carb cleaner

I just purchased an 88se 1 owner beautiful 90,000 miles

I saw a similar post recently. Do a search on "carb" in this section and you should see it.

i believe the 88 is high the question is, is the 87 high or low??

i'm guessing that the 87 is low and the injectors should be swapped or maybe the ecu depending on how much electrical stuff from the 87 is being used....

Definitely sounds like your not getting fuel. Swap the old injectors in and see what happens.
