When im driving down the road when its warm outside and i have plenty of power,its only a 5.7 and im pushing 35's and i just put an engine in it..but when it gets cold out and im trying to push a hill it doesnt matter how much i push the throttle down it will not even rev up it just bogs harder but when im under 2000 rpms its smooth thottle.. im not sure what to think.. the truck runs great it wont quit running and the check engine light never comes on and starts every time and i put a fuel pump in it but it still happens ..
SOURCE: Drove 1991 gmc sonoma 1700 miles and now it wont start or idle...
check the play in the distributor,and check that the fuel pressure is normal

switch the fuel pump relay with another on in the realy box. see if you hear the pump come on when you turn the key on (should run for 2 seconds) if not, have someone rap on the bottom center of fuel tank while you are trying to start the truck if it starts, the pump is bad and you will need to replace it. if you hear the pump run and is doesnt start, it may be a spark problem , verify if you have spark. this engine needs 58-62 PSI fuel pressure, if it has 55PSI, its not going to run.

Have automatic choke checked as well as the PCV valve.
