I thought it was a tps but it is not. The fuel pressure is fine. What else could be the problem?

What was the fuel pressure reading? Pull the codes to see if there is anything there. Take a vacuum reading. Can you keep it running if you feather the throttle when putting it in drive?

This engine should be an "R" code Vortec and spec off the top of my head is 60-66 PSI. They have issues at 58 PSI and may not stay running below about 54 PSI if you can get it going. This engine is VERY sensitive to exact pressures, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
