Turned ignition key and a puff of gray smoke...
Hi ,
Sounds like you burned a "fuse able link". If you open your hood and look going away from the battery at all the wires you probably will see which wire melted. These links are designed to prevent major wiring harness fires. So you have a major dead short in your wiring. It would be difficult to lead you through the tracing down of the short but with a careful eye you may be able to see the bad wire as it will show signs of arcing. Good Luck!!!!!
Chugs, acts like it's not getting gas once warmed up. Idle's fine
This problem can be several things. When your engine is cold, your computer is in a "closed loop" and just pretty much keeps the engine running until warmed up. After reaching operation temperature, the computer starts reading all the sensors. If one sensor is not connected or is defective, you will experience performance problems. Most of the time this will turn on the check engine light, but not always. Second is the fuel pump. This too will cause erratic engine problems.
My radio is off and on unless the lights come on
There are two power wires to your radio. One is hot when you turn on you ignition the other is hot when you turn on your lights. (this is for the dash lights). If these wire are backwards, it would cause this problem.
My heater control module keeps going out!
Most electrical problems are caused by bad grounds. Since your battery is grounded to your engine, make sure your engine is grounded to your chassis. I have seen battery terminals replaced and the small ground wire to the chassis was not connected back.

My 1991 chevy k1500 runs fine when cold but when
hi, the problem you are having sounds to me like the oxygen sensor " or lambda sensor for its real name" has failed and needs replacing the reason it points towards this being the fault is that the oxygen sensor only starts working once the engine reaches a certain temp so if your car runs perfect from cold but plays up when warm then this is a good indication that the oxygen sensor needs replacing.
Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok
