SOURCE: 87 chevy 350 fuel injected pickup wont run smoothly

sounds like your egr valve is gummed up or bad. this is located behind the throttle body and has a single vaccum tube connected to it. if the diafram is still good you can remove it and clean it with WD 40 until the plunger works smooth

SOURCE: 91 camaro 305 tpi runs rough at idle sometimes

tune up-read your plugs and then check your timing. use timing light and double check with scan tool-most 91 305's were high outputs which
requires higher octane than regular (fuel grade revelatnt to compression ratio and altitude) you may want to check fuel pressure could be a clogged filter or bad pump.

SOURCE: 99 chevy silverado running rough and stalling.

the problem you are discribing would lead me to belive your fuel filter is clogged which is a simple fix 3 dollar part at any part store or on the worse hand your fuel pump itself could be weak you can open the gas tank cover and have another person turn the truck key to the on position without going far enough to start you will hear a faint whining noise if it is going bad or a louder noise if it is fine Good Luck

My 1987 1ton tpi will start run for a few seconds and then die it started when it was just sitting idling fine and just died then tried to recrank woulden crank then it finally startwed but wont stay...

this might sound stupid, have a look in the exhaust and see if the muffler (ime from uk so hope thats a correct term) internals have not collapsed or you have a blockage in it. this might be a problem, have you got a cat converter on it? that might be doing the same, if its gasoleen or diesel it might be the cause, just a guess as not been able to see it in flesh...
