Hey folks this is my first posting here and I will be grateful for any advice you have.
My 1991 Chevy 2500 pickup is sick. It was running fine until, It started missing and will not take fuel when you press the accelerator. I have some background working on engines but when it comes to diagnostics I am lost.
At the suggestion of some friends and others I have replaced the distributor,rotor,cap wires, plugs,ICV,throttle position sensor,fuel filter. What it is doing is lopping at idle and misses real bad when you accelerate. It is not flooding because there is no black smoke or raw gas smell. I have looked for wires that maybe broken or shorted and found nothing. It was running great until this problem started. It was a sudden problem. Do you think it could be the fuel pump or ? I am open for suggestions. Thanks

. Test for codes.

. Test all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter. Here's how:

. Test/replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil. Here's what the ICM looks like and costs:

AutoZone can test ICMs and coils for free. If the problem persists, it may be ECM-related.

Lemtrac7:: Number 1 - I got a new set of spark plug wires for my 92 2500 and it done what you say yours is doing ,I raised the hood in a good (DARK ) place ,started the motor ,let my eyes adjust to the dark and I saw a christmas tree with (BLUE) lights. Of corse it meant that the new wires were bad . took back to autozone got another set (NO charge) put them on and it purred like a kitten. another thing to check is the pick up coil down inside under dist. cap also ck. cap for cracks, look inside cap IF I have helped ,rate my answer .Thanks Have a good day good luck F.B.E.

Do NOT spray your truck with parts. That will only weaken your determination and your wallet.

Be systematic and cost effective. If it's running rough at idle, unplug first one TB injector then the other and if the problem becomes worse, it isn't fuel delivery. One injector may be sticking slightly and causing the roughness.

You've done the secondary ignition, now it's time for the primary side: Ignition control module and ignition coil.
