So installed 1000cc injectors, tuned the global and dead time, all was good for about two weeks. Then suddenly anytime I used anything that used electric power it would lean way out. Now about 2 weeks after that I cant apply any load to the engine without it leaning out completely. Can't even drive it down the street. Someone suggested alternator so I replaced it and no change.
 
Does your car feel like it is lean also? If it feels normal, but only WB shows lean it can be your o2 sensor that is broken.

+1 on what benstian said.

be sure to check the wiring too, naked wires could ground out to the chassis & other metal parts or jump electricity to other naked wires, making them "crossed" each time it happens.
 
my car started doing that when i went from 264 cams to 264 272 . what happend was the idle got lower and caused this condition. i noticed anytime i put a load on the engine the wide band would show lean for a second then go back up . what i did to make it a little better was to raise the idle to 1000 rpm
