1994 Chevy Blazer 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

my 1994 chevy s-10 tahoe blazer cuts out when I accelerate, while driving or in park but idles smooth and if I accelrate all the way it blows a little bit of white smoke, been told it was the spider injectors or maybe the cap and rotor, or the crank censor. The check engine will come on for like two minutes then shut off does repetely. What will cause this cutting out problem? I also recently replaced the fuel pump, fuel lines and filter. The truck will bogg down and cut out on acceleration and uses more gas than it should!

Dirty fuel injectors (cleaning the injectors often fixes this).
Bad MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor
Bad TPS (throttle position) sensor
Bad or dirty MAF (mass airflow) sensor
Low fuel pressure (leaky fuel pressure regulator or weak fuel pump)
Vacuum leaks (intake manifold, vacuum hoses, throttle body, EGR valve)
Bad gasoline (fuel contaminated with water or too much alcohol)

Sometimes, what feels like a hesitation is actually ignition misfire rather than lean misfire. The causes of ignition misfire may include:

Dirty or worn spark plugs
Bad plug wires
Weak ignition coil
Wet plug wires
