I've heard from several teachers/mechanics that the Techron is the only fuel cleaner to use for fuel, GM(?) top end cleaner for gummy cylinders, and Rislone for sticking lifters. Changing oil soon after is a good idea after anything.

The fact the top end is strong indicates good fuel flow, but there may be a piece of crap in the tank that's being sucked up at idle (not likely).

I'd guess a bad head temp sensor or airflow sensor that's making if run super rich all the time. Second guess is a stuck distributor advance.
