Ive got a 90 s10 4.3 tbi that will drive good for about a half mile then spitts and stumbles backfires on accel. Ive done everything I can think of. Heres what ive done cap, rotor, ignition coil, plugs wires, rebuilt the tbi, new filters on the injectors, map sensor, iac sensor, tps sensor, speed sensor, new fuel filter.
ive checked the fuel preasure and all the lines, and pulled the fuel pump out and checked the filter on it no trash in the tank. Ive messed with all the grounds they were good. So im lost with this
