Another possibility is the coolant temp sensor connector is in poor condition and got bumped when you were working under the hood. Any resistance or connection problem will make it read colder then it really is. Colder means more gas gets injected.
Thank you ChevyTech. I did pull the breather & watched it after turnin the key off & sure enough, the top o-ring on the left side injector was leaking. I pulled the top back off, injector out, found an o-ring in my parts bin that was almost the correct match, enough so that it worked lol, lubed it & the bottom o-ring up with a little wheel bearing grease & problem solved. Thanks for your very quick reply to help me.
