sounds like a leaking inlet valve broken valve spring/ faulty valve/lifter prob. or a worn out camshaft if the exhaust cam has worn out the compessed gas cant escape so when the inlet valve opens the internal cylinder pressure blows back in to the inlet maifold if it was me i would do a cylinder compression test first that should help you to isolate the cylinder thats at fault

If you are referring to a spring clip type of clamp, then you need a pair of regular and fine nose pliers, squeeze the clamp to its open position and work it away from the point where it is securing the hose, i.e. work it down the hose. Then once clear, a little elbow grease and pull the hose free.

Hi Del: Sounds like you're well on the way to solving this. There is a fuel delivery problem to deal with. Either: - the carb is gummed up, - the filter is plugged, or - the fuel pump is on vacation. With the top of the carb exposed, look into the barrel(s) and pump the throttle linkage. The accelerator pump will squirt gas that you should be able to see. If there is gas, that should mean that the fuel pump is working, and the problem will possibly be blocked carb jets. A carb cleaning would be in order. No gas? - Check the fuel filter - Check fuel pump My guess from personal experience would be the fuel pump.

My best guess with out you pulling the codes would be that you either have a vacuum leak, your EGR valve is malfunctioning or your TPS may be sending a weak signal. Hope this points you in the right direction.

Fuel filter,air filter,clean throttle body.

Front one isn't bad. Remove the belt/s. Remove the harmonic balancer. pry the seal out and replace it using a hammer. be nice to it. The rear seal, pull the transmission. pull the flywheel. remove the seal and be nice to it putting it back in.

One of the injectors is leaking fuel into the cylinder ? Loss of fuel pressure when the engine is off ?

The only thing to do is to take your truck to a service shop.

Check all the grounds....especially the ground from the battery to the frame.

The 1989 model is wired differently from the 1990 model. So this is for the 89 model only. You should have about 10 volts to the coil from a ballast resistor which gets power from the key switch. The ground side of the coil is handled by the distributor.Is the coil getting power from the key switch ?

you have the engine out of timing. take the timing belt off and roll the engine untill the number one cylinder is at top dead center (tdc) and then set your camshaft to where the intake valve is open on the number one cylinder. after that take the timing belt and put it on and your engine should run good.

could be a bad sencer
