Fuel contaminated oil would also give you the intermittent "oil can" light you spoke of earlier.

But again back to what someone said earlier to check the fuel pressure is the key to several questions.
The TBI fuel pressure regulator diaphragm is replaced when the TBI is rebuilt

This is what it looks like

Fuel On one side, Spring pressure and Vacuum on the other
