I am posting this here hoping for some input. I have a 91 D21 4cyl, 5spd, 2wd, short bed. I had the fuel pump go out and replaced it from the selection of 10 or so different ones there are. Ever since i have no pressure at the gas cap. Then it started this intermittent miss, like while sitting idling at a stoplight you can feel it miss, then clear, then miss , back and forth. When I accelerate from a stop , sometimes it misses then clears up. So i did all the normal stuff, plugs platinum NGK, wires, cap, rotor, cleaned the MAFF, checked sensors, replaced the O2 sensor, checked for vacuum leaks. Took it to a shop, the guy replaced the intake thermo sensor, it was dead, replaced the air filter housing seal as it was trashed, rechecked the sensors, and it still is doing the on and off crap, just enough to drive you nuts especially if you have been driving this truck for almost 6 years with no problems. I mean I know how this feels to drive and it's not right. I also hooked up a fuel pressure gauge inline with the filter so I know it has 35lbs pressure and pressure drops after you turn it off, but cannot find any leaks. Could it be the check valve in the tank? Hate to pull the tank again, but oh well. Any help is appreciated as I am running out of options.
