Use a can of spray carburetor cleaner ans spray around the gaskets and hoses, the engine sound and idle speed will change if you hit a leak.

have fixed several wiper problems on chevy trucks in that year range .and in every caseproblem has been in the green circuit board of ththe wiper control . that is located under the hood on the fire wall just below the drivers side wiper . remove the screws off the cover plate and check for a broken solder joint on the grond wire . located where wire plugs in . most time you cant even see the bad solder joint ( called a cold joint ) but just resolder anyway . good luck

sending unit on the fuel pump in the tank is stuck, and needs to be replaced. its expensive, but that will fix your issue. its the housing around the pump that has the float arm on it. you can try to free the float arm by removing your pump assembly, but cant guarantee its any good after being stuck
