I have been having intermitment start problems, it only seems to be when it is hot, I have a new Accel distributor, checked everything I can think of the only thing elese it could be is the computer. I have a friend that has a parts '92 w/ 4.3 I am going to try his computer if it is the same. How many different computers were there for the 4.3.
Thanks for your help, Bruce

Is it a starter problem? Is the timing set to zero? Clean the TBI really good with a cleaner. Run some seafoam through the fuel tank.

New starter, cranks over fine, noid light hooked to injectors does not light then let set for a about an hour it will start.
Timing is set right.
TBI is clean.
New fuel pump and filter, tank clean.

Well it is not the computer, it would not start this morning and I changed the computer and it still did not start. Let it set for over a half hour and it started. I am getting sick of not having a dependable truck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Bruce

It sounds like a loose or intermitant connection somewhere. If it has a firewall connection block, I'd start there.
