89 GMC Sierra problem

MY grandmother has a 1989 GMC Sierra 1500 and about a year ago the truck started stalling, more like cutting of and some times not being able to start back up right away. For, example i was driving her and we came to a 4 way stop. As i slowed down to stop at the stop sign the truck just cut off, luckily it started right back up. Now she has had several mechanics take look and they've changed some of everything on it. She even took it and put it on the computer to be tested and nothing showed up on there. But after all that it still continues cut off at random times.

    my truck does the same thing, it stalls randomly for no reason. It has done it maybe 15 times in the last two years. Now it has finally stalled and won't start. I don't believe it is fuel related, i've tryed starting fluid and not even a sputter.

There is an ignition module located rite beside the distributor cap on the distributor base these are well known for getting weak and heating up thus causing your engine to stall.

1991 gmc sierra is getting way to much fuel when starting. Flooding itself. Why

Pressure regulator or fuel injector lines leaking. The check engine light is on?

My 89 gmc sierra only starts if i put starting fluid can that be a bad regulator

usually a bad regular will cause rich operation--not lean. Will it keep running after the starting fluid burns up, or does it stall. If it only runs by continuing to add starting fluid, there is a problem with the injector operation. If you need more troubleshooting steps, please answer and provide engine size.

My gas gausge doesnt work in my 89 gmc sierra. How

If all your other gauges work, more than likely you have a bad sending unit in the gas tank or bad ground to the sending unit.

89 gmc sierra screwed up while driving

Sounds like you may have broken your timing chain. Try doing a compression test. You should get pressures no less than 90-100 psi. If you find extremely low pressures,you probably lost the chain. This could have caused valve train problems. Good luck
