This culprit can be a bad cam sensor, bad fuel filter, or weak fuel pump, or fuel pressure regulator valve. Or simply a clogged misfiring or just bad injector. By testing your fuel pressure first and seeing if after a while the fuel pressure has not dropped in the fuel rail test for say 30 mins. If the pressure stays up that test eliminates the fuel rail pressure regulator. If the pressure coming in is weak all together your filter or pump is bad. If the RPM gauge does not move when this happens it is the crank sensor. If when cold it runs fine and starts running worse after warming up check the cam sensor. There you go need any help ask for me.please rate my solution it is how i earn my achievements. Thanks in advance.

SOURCE: GMC JIMMY NO START BUT GOT SPARK AND FUEL

try the oil pressure switch, that was a common problem on Gm trucks when I used to work on them, the oils switch was bad and woulden't allow it to start and the ones I worked on were on the back of the distributor.

SOURCE: 1991 4.3L GMC Jimmy S-15 will not start. Turns

You need 3 things.
Compression
Good hot blue spark to all plugs.
Good gasoline and proper fuel pressure. 13-13.5 lbs on your TBI
If you have all 3 then move on to injector pulse to both injectors.

Keep me posted and recheck your spark plug wire to make sure they are not crossed. firing order 1-2-3-4-5-6 cylinder # passenger side 1-3-5 front to back. cylinder # drivers side 2-4-6 front to back
distributor #1 is located at the 7 o"clock and rotates clock wise so next distributor post on the right working clock wise is #2. Good luck and hope this helps.

SOURCE: 94 gmc sonoma 4.3l vortec new coil, plugs, wires

The ignition module in the distributor is what you need to give the engine spark to the plugs. It senses signals from the PCM to regulate the spark control and this item is the part that took over the old style point & condensor type ignitions. It is time for a new one in your truck

Would the electronic distributor pickup cause a vehicle to spit,sputter and cut out at a high rate of speed ????

First you can not put Bosch plugs in it. Also watch cheap wires from parts house. Also check fuel pump pressure at high speed. Also watch for Catt converter plugging. Try unscrewing up stream o2 on both sides then drive. If goes away plugged Catt. You can scan those and see fuel values. Then you can tell. Any codes?

This could be a blockage in the carburator,try to clean it, especially the valves. There is a specific spray for the job on the market. You might need to dismantle it.
