Run test and erased code, no problems as of yet. Will be back to ask advice if problem returns. Thank you for responses thus far.

#1 fuel injector is clogging. Check electrical physical connection to #1 nozzle. If no help, try a fuel injectore cleaner gas additive. If still no help, change the injector.

If your have TBI, all of this is will not work!
