i have a 94’ TLC. When i start the truck i have to wait about 10 minutes or i cannot drive the truck. If i dont wait and attempt to drive the revs drop very low and the truck stumbles/hesitates. Anyone have a similar issue? Anyone know a solution? Also if i drive the truck in traffic for a long time when i hit the gas it does a similar stumble and i have to pull over and wait for the truck to drive right again.

Sounds lean, check air intake trunking for leaks first.

Sounds like your EGR is getting stuck open.

Thank you I’ll try it

Possibly a bad injector? mine did the same thing when one of my injectors went out.

Check engine light?

Check engine light?

Yes but sometimes it goes off. I also have cats removed so i thought that is what caused the CEL. Being a 94’ OBDII cant be used

correct OBD 2 cannot be used since it is OBD1. There is a simple method to pull the code by using a paperclip.

Being an OBD1 truck, you can use the "paperclip method" to pull the codes.

1. Acquire paperclip
2. Open the hood, locate diagnostic plug on the passenger side firewall near the top. It's black and probably 1.5"x3".
3. Open cap to diagnostic plug, on the inside is a schematic of all the pin positions.
4. Remove the little metal jumper in the bottom right of the plug.
5. Get your paperclip, and jump terminals E1 and TE1.
6. Turn key to "ON" but don't start. CEL will blink. Codes are 2 digit, and there's a longer pause in between codes if there's more than one. They repeat indefinitely as long as you leave the ignition on.

I actually like OBD 1 as it is blisteringly easy to pull codes that help narrow down the location of the problem. Even if the light goes off the ECU stores the trouble code so you can read it at a later time.

Pull codes, report back. Good luck
