Had the  same issue on my '87. Using the Bentley, checked voltage to each
injector  (one at a time) and found every check between the ECU and
injectors
to be  good. Also checked the fuel pressure regulator and it was fine.
Swapped in  a used "known good" ECU and problem solved.

That is a known failure mode of the 2.1 ECU. Injectors  open and flooding
the intake even without the engine  turning.
