A little background on my 95, I bought the truck this past spring off of a friend who took awesome care of it. 1 owner, always had synthetic fluids, an serviced regularly, only thing mechanically wrong was cel light but the truck ran great. I bought it to use as a weekend toy, basically just something to have fun with.
A few weeks ago I picked up a set of hybrids off a member here that had really low miles. So me an a friend swapped them in, go to start the truck an its running rough. No biggie, took it for a test drive an proceeded to blow the trans about 10mi later. So had the trans built, got it back this past friday an put it back in. Start the truck up an its still running rough, so take it for another ride an its not getting any better. After 15min of driving it dies an no restart. So I towed it home an left it for the night. We tore back into it yesterday to find that my friend that helped install the injectors forgot to plug 1 in. So took care of that, put it back together, an its running great. So I decided I'd take the truck out for the night. Everything was going great, till about 45min into it. As I was coming up to a stop sign, the truck just died, no sputtering or warning just shut off. Went to restart it an nothing at first. I gave it a lil bit, tried it again, an it fired right up. So I kept goin. Went to my g/f's house for awhile then decided to go home. Truck fired up an I was on my way. Trucks runnin great, im happy, an then it just dies again without any warning. This time it wouldn't restart so I ended up towing it home. I had a little time today before work so I decided to take a look at it. The first thing i did was pull the chip an no change. When you hit the key, the wts light goes on, the tach moves while cranking, an the oil pressure gauge moves when cranking but no start. I checked the hpop res. an its full, the fuel bowl does fill up when cranking also. I unplugged the IPR an still no start, tried unplugging the icp sensor an still no start. I've checked all fuses, an made sure uvch were connected. I tried pulling codes with my friends cheap scan gauge, but didn't get anything. To me it seems like an electrical issue because of the way it just shuts off without any warning. My work schedule is really busy this week an don't have a lot of time to mess with the truck. When I have more time, I'd like to find a better scan gauge an I also wanna hook up mechanical gauges to check fuel an hpo. Do you guys have any suggestions? Sorry for the long post an bad punctuation, I'm posting from my phone at work. Thanks for any help
