'92 burb is giving me fits
 

I'm having a problem with my burb. it started last Saturday while driving if I let completely off the throttle and got back on it it would stumble and sputter but then pick back up. The more I drove the worse it got and finally left me on the side of the road. At that point it would turn over but wouldn't crank unless I held the throttle to the floor and would not keep running under load (in gear). I wound up getting a ride home on a friends rollback. I showed him what it was doing and he said sounded like a fuel pump so we changed that and the problem still persists. I checked the trouble codes with a jumper wire and got a code 15. This afternoon I attempted to drive it to town only to have the same problem occur. I did manage to limp it home two foot driving and keeping the rpm up around 1500-2000. The truck dosent have a tach so that is a SWAG. I also noticed on the way home the speedo was registering way faster than I was actually running. One last thing, when I do try to crank it and even if I get it to run it smells strongly of raw gas. Anyone have any ideas?

It sounds like a bad coolant sensor.

Thanks for the links. The first one describes my truck to a T. The local parts house was closed for the night so will get the sensor and check tomorrow.

You're welcome.

Let us know if it fixes the problem.

ECT sensor replaced and it seems to have fixed the problem. I haven't had a chance to extensively road test yet but will report back. Thanks
