Did you check the wires under the UIM, within the protective plastic covers? The wires to the fuel injectors are subject to the highest heat, the insulation cracking will show up there first. While you have the UIM off you can clean the ports of the lower intake. Also look under the plastic cover behind the fire wall cylinder head. With the UIM off it's easy to inspect. I had insulation cracking there too.
I've got it showing without taking anything off, so all that is unnecessary, but I'm sure it'll be worth mentioning.
