1990 jimmy issue
So I'm going to look at a 90 jimmy or is it a blazer I Dont Know. I'm sure it won't matter. But the guy says it idles fine in gear and neutral but as soon as you give it gas it cuts out. Any idea what it is sorry I don't have much more info right now. I'll try to get more info on engine and trans

Re: 1990 jimmy issue
Nope should be a 350 with a throttle body injection. Cutting out under load could be low fuel pressure(fuel pump in tank)

Re: 1990 jimmy issue
I vote first related to the fuel pump going bad or second the strainer sock being clogged with debris. Ther is always the chance that the injector is clogged/needs replacement but most likely the first one as previously stated.

Re: 1990 jimmy issue
if its a carb, could be a filter issue.
does it rev up in neutral and park? if so, that's your pickle.

Re: 1990 jimmy issue
sounds like ignition. Plan on a full tune up.
1990 is TBI injection unless it's been raped and put back to a carb. if that;'s the case it will not pass emissions if it's applicable. It may be a TBI unit as a lot of people don;'t know the diff.
