pinched gas line or dirty filter
change your fuel filter and test the fuel pressure. pump pressure 60 psi line pressure after the fuel regulator on TBI 11 TO 13 Psi.
minimum fuel pressure is 52 lbs to start
tHESE TRUCKS ARE FAMOUS FOR THE FUEL PUMPS QUITTING. hAVE IT CHECKED OUT.
Not enough fuel is reaching the throttle body, check your fuel pressure it may be your pump going out.
Get a can of throttle body cleaner.....spray throttle body cleaner into the throttle body.....open the blade and shoot some into the throttle body. Then try to start the car...if it starts, then you have a fuel delivery problem. Hook a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail and just turn the key on and see what pressure you get. If no pressure then it is either your fuel pump OR a clogged fuel filter. You can then put a new fuel filter on, test the pressure again and if still no pressure, you are pretty much looking at the fuel pump. If you get fuel pressure at the fuel rail and it still won't start then you probably have an injector problem.
if throttle body is flooding engine how can i fix .4.3engine on 88 Chevy blazer motor was running great on morning wont start. new gas tank plugs wires ,sending unit.and throttle body.motor turns over wants to start ,there is fire to plugs and fuel to throttle body,also new rotor button
Possibly inadequate fuel pressure. I forget the Minimum acceptable pressure, but that's easy enough to have checked. It has to have no less then 9 LBS. And no more then 13 LBS. to start and run. You need to take the fuel line loose on the tank side of the filter and install a pressure gauge in the line and cycle the key on and off, That will tell you the fuel pressure. 9 - 13 PSI. is the spec's.
Check fuel pressure, fuel pressure regulator.
check your fuel pressure.
Compression ok?
GM. did not start using TPS / THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS until they switch to the fuel injection fuel system. Your truck has a carburetor, TPS was not used on that type of fuel system.
Check for vacuum leaks. The gasket was known to blow out between the throttle body and the intake manifold.
