First thing to check would be your charging system regulating
voltage. With the engine still running at medium rpm after a warmup
drive, the voltage measured at the battery should be 14.1 - 14.4 V.
It will measure about 1/2 V higher at the generator or ~1/2 V lower
at the fuse box.
If it's less than 13.5 V at the battery, replace the voltage
regulator with a Bosch 30-019. If you can't find one locally, I have
them for $45.
Low system voltage makes the FI run rich.
