Put on a new ignition module. Thanks again for the help. It starts now but it runs rough and sometimes back fires. Test drive and it run so bad it would hardly go. I get code 22 for the tps but I had put a new one on already. I just took it off and used the old round bushing and put new one on. Did I need to do something else?

I have a 94 chevy 1500 w/t, with a 6 cyl 4.3 liter engine. It is also a 5 speed transmission. The problem that im having with my truck is that somtimes when it is warmed up or warm outside the truck trys to stall at stop lights. I have had it tuned up, filters all replaced. I have spent over $1000 trying to get this fixed and all I keep hearing is "it ran fine when we had it". Please help me.

Check for vacuum leaks. In 94 there were some problems with intake gaskets.

Let me know what you find.
