Could also be fuel pressure, change the fuel filter and plugs. If it persists, check the fuel air mixture. It would help to know what the service people did to help diagnose what the problem is now.

Check the ECM if it has the number 1228253 on it, this is what is wrong with it. Gm trashed all of these bad ecms. Get a 16198264 as they do not cause a cutting off problem . Get a delco ecm , aftermarket units will give trouble and may be a rebuilt 1228253 which is junk.

You might be experiencing a problem with your Vats security system. GM installed these anti theft systems on almost all of its cars in the 90's. (that little black chip in your key) They are known for turning off starters and injectors. Check out this link for symptoms, explanation of how it works, and solutions to the problem that you can do yourself. Hope this helps. http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/

SOURCE: red lightning bolt light

I would say it is the warning light for the electronic throttle control which you had cleaned.
The description should be in your owners manual.

There is no such thing as a coincidence. Have another technician look at it to see if the first made a mistake.

I have a 1999 chevy 1500 with a 5.7 liter. If truck sets more than an hour I have to pour gas down the throttle body to get it to start. It seems to run fine after I get it started. But have noticed if I...

sounds like you have a problem with your fuel presure regulator

as for pouring gas down the tbi try turning your key on then off a few times wait about 3-5 secs for the fuel pump to prime the system and try that if the key prime works than have a mechanic presure test the f.p.r.
and try and remember there are a ton of auto salvage yards that will sell an fpr for like 20 bucks including the fuel rail

2004 dodge ram 1500 5.7 hemi 4x4 4 door 90k miles

Take throttle body off, clean Throttle Body with Carburator cleaner. I had same problem and its the ethynol in fuel that creates a build up in the throttle body which creates this problem. I did what a friend of mine said to do (service manager at Dodge Dealership) it hasnt happened again.
