Moe,
Finally had time to get the data into an excel spreadsheet so that I could look at it.
Block Learn Cell is between 0-9, mostly around 5 and Block Learn Multiplier is steady at 126.
This OBD1 program does not give me any fuel trim numbers. It does show the slow rich/lean flag as lean. It does not change. The rich/lean flag cycles between rich and lean, with more leans than riches.
Looks like Brian is correct in that it is lean not rich.

Gotta be careful with a statement like that for some folks in Oregon....they can get pretty riled up when you talk about ducks like that.
Not sure about Moe, but I'm a Beavers fan so it is all good...

Never tried that. Can you just take a torch and use it like you would starting fluid, open the valve on the bottle and hold it around the vacuum lines and intake gaskets to see if the motor smooths out.

You can. I just put it above the throttle plates. Works great.
