Seems to be flooding a lot

I have a 87 Turbo 2 that seems to be flooding a lot. It does have a SAFC2 installed, but most of the fuel levels are trimmed. It also has a wlbro 255 pump. I'm assuming it's probably bad injectors, but has anyone else had issues with constant flooding?

First question - Have you ever replaced/cleaned your injectors?

My 86 n/a has been flooding for the past couple months. Chances are its the injectors and they either need to be cleaned or replaced. Replacing them is defenitly better, as cleaning them wont cure the problem 100% of the time. If you don't want to spend a pile of money, then install a fuel cut-off switch. It would be a wise decision to do this anyway. Then drive around for a few days, run some erronds and each time you shut your car off, just flick the switch and let it die. Sometimes on mine it will come so close to dying then get a small sputter then die. That small sputter is the injectors leaking excess fuel (they're old). Listen for the small sputter and if this happens then you know what your problem is. Costs under 5$ for some wire and a switch and doesnt take long to do, look up a walkthrough there is tons of them.

Hope that helps out.
