Default 2.3t,idles smooth,misses under steady throttle

Finally down to the last bits on my 89 swap,car idles smooth and if u rev it quick an let off it is smooth an quick,however if u give it steady throttle it misses,like if u were maintaining a drivin speed on the road,the car is still running a lil rich.when it misses its like a dead miss as if a sparkplug wire were ripped,but plugs n wires are new an good.could a stuck injector cause this?the fuel pump now constantly primes durin ignition cycle as well.any help is appreciated I just wanna drive this thing lol,

I checked the injectors,all within spec none stickin.The turbo I have is currently set at 8 psi of boost. Could this be causing this issue?Because the car would be gettin more fuel than air?I know stock they ran like 14-15 psi,just wondering if this could be the issue..

I'm in the process of sorting out my 2.3T, and have a similar situation.. I found both my TPS sensor and Vane Air Meter have electrical dead spots in them. I just ordered replacements from rockauto (very good prices), hopefully they fix it. Have you already tested yours? If not I recommend using an analog ohm or voltmeter, as it is easier to see the needle wave or dip as you are move through the range of movement.
