My 1993 S-10 4.3l V6 has been acting up the past few weeks by dieing when coming to a stop, It has gotten worse to even sitting in the driveway while warming up.

Sometimes it will not restart for a few minutes like its vapor locking, Other times will restart first try.

I did replace the fuel pump, Fuel Filter and fuel pump relay today, After doing this I still had the same problems.

I had my Brother come over so I could try and catch it from the engine side to see if it was spraying fuel during its mood, While it does this the injectors aren't spraying any fuel.

I then took a complete throttle body that a friend had from a same year 4.3 and installed it with the same results, I then while restarting and shutting off caught it not spraying fuel and checked the voltage dropping down to 5 and 7 volts while cranking it over.

I've checked grounds and wiring harness under the hood with no luck of finding anything wrong.


Any ideas or help would be great.


Thanks Chris B

ECM drives injector so lack of voltage would be a fault of ECM
