Replying to: pitstop1999 (Oct 28, 2009 10:14 am) No engine lights at all. I had the shop run the diagnostic before I replaced the fuel pump and I was getting low pressure and they diagnosed it as a bad pump. I put in a new pump and that fixed the fuel pressure problem but not the stalling. I failed to mention that the line wasn't maintaining pressure before I replaced the pump. I would have to prime the pump about two or three times via the ignition before it would start. That problem went away with the new pump.   I have sprayed throtle bottle cleaner in the intake with the truck running at about 2000rpms and let it do its thing and it hasn't helped.   I reset the IAC by turning the ignition on for 30sec. Turning it off for 10 sec. Then starting it. I was told that was the way to do it.   I'll try resetting the computer again to see if that helps. I plan to unplug the negative and let it sit for about 10 minutes.   I haven't checked the regulator for gas yet, or done a pressure test on the vacuum system either. I might get around to that this weekend.   Anything else you guys can think of? I'll keep trying until it's fixed!

Replying to: ndmech14 (Oct 29, 2009 8:25 am) Should I spray the brake cleaner around the intake manifold or by the coupler before the throttle body. Where does the leak happen in these instances? I assume I could just by some RTV sealant and reinstall the manifold with this at the seams to correct the problem? Replies to this message: obyone (Oct 29, 2009 8:44 pm)
