Long Term fuel trims at -8% ??

That's not right...that tells me it is running RICH.. The minus sign says that based on O2 readings the DME is removing fuel from the air/fuel ratio.

Ideally, the Long term trim should be about +2-3% after warm-up.

I would check fuel pressure at the rail...should be close to 50psi...We had a bad batch of Hengst fuel filter/regulators that resulted in 60 psi and a rich condition.

If your fuel pressure is good..Get your injectors tested or replaced.
