1999 Chevy truck 5.7 starts but wont stay running fuel pump checks fine what is the cause of this?

check your injector and the O ring that goes around the injector. You will need a star bit or a hex bit, mid size to remove the injector, it just pulls out. and unplugs, check for carbon build-up (black residue) and take the O ring off and examine it. This truck has a sensor that tells how much fuel to dispense, if the O ring is damaged, or the injector is clogged by carbon deposits, it may be sending too much or (if O ring is damaged) or not enough, (if build up has it clogged) fuel and then the truck may not stay running, the proper amount of fuel needs to be dispensed to keep it running. You can clean the injector with gasoline and a tooth brush, don't assume it is bad and needs replaced. You can buy the O ring a any hard ware store for about 12cents. This is very common in Chevy trucks from 1990-1999. I had to replace my O ring in my s-14 about 3 times. but 36 cents was better than *80.00 for a new injector, check it out

Where is the idle screw on a '92 Caprice Classic?

There is no idle screw. The idle control solonoid is on the throtle body and sometimes it can get dirty needing cleaning. ---- Well, this is assuming you have TBI or fuel injection, or if it is a carbuerated engine, if it is FI, the idle is set at the factory, no adjustment to the idle is recommended, as the computer controls the idle in FI engine's, if you must, their is a idle adjustment screw under a tin cap seated in your throttle body, an awl or a similar tool can remove this cap, is it located directly in front of the throttle stop, lower right of your TBI unit. jr Since in 1992 there WASN"T a carbureated engine in that car, if you are having idle problems the culprit would be the Idle Air Control Valve (IAC Valve). There is no cleaning it, only replacing it will fix your issue, assuming you don't have an intake gasket leak. Scott
