Truck is a 1997 with automatic, basically stock.

Regardless of temperature, engine cold or hot, engine starts easily and immediately dies, fires right back up and dies again.

Once it decides to run, while driving along, gun the throttle the least and it dies again.


What are the possible culprits.

Thanks.

Whats your fuel pressure at?

Sounds like your rpm is too low at idle. 10mm wrench needed to loosen locknut and turn adjusting screw at injection pump lever at the rear of injection pump. Adjust to 750 rpm in gear with ac on, engine at operating temp. Adjust low rpm only, to the right of the high rpm stop.

I had thought about the idle being too low, but would that cause it to die when you gun it at speed ??


Thanks.

Usually will cause a stalling condition cold more then hot but also depends on how low RPM is when hot. If too low just adjust it to proper RPM.
