both. I will say I have had one injector have a poor spray pattern sort of have the same symptoms you describe but again a rough idle and misfire that would smooth out and run fine at cruise with more airflow/turbulence to atomize the fuel (not sure what fuel trims would be doing as it was pre obd) but this is highly unlikely i think. Slightly leaking injector but usually accompanied with a stumbling start.
Do you have a scope with amp clamp? If so scope the amperage for the injectors power wire (before it splits into parallel) and see if all the injector amperage are relitively equal.

Unfortunately a scope is one tool i dont have in my arsenal, I’ll see if i can put together a graph of what exactly it’s doing at cruise speeds as i do have another data file that i recorded over an 80 mile trip after resetting the ecu that i havent processed yet. Appreciate the help in trying to track down this issue, it has been a pain in my side for the last few months trying different things to find out what’s causing it with what little knowledge i have and every mechanic I’ve tooken it to has said there’s nothing wrong with it that they can see
