    The check engine light on my 2006 Silverado 1500 keeps turning on for a couple days and off for 3-7 days before turning on again. I took it to 4 car shop/stores to see if they could get a code off of it but my truck won't power any of the computers. The truck itself hasnt given me any issues at all, but the engine light does its own thing. What ould it be?

    Driving truck down the highway and quit.
    Seem to be no fire and no gas, replace distributor. And Coil
    Now rpm's at Idol 600 then racing two 3000 RPM.
    Only way to get fuel pump to stop pumping after the key off is too unplug relay.

Chevy Trucks, Blazers, S10 pickup and the like will vapor lock ecspecially the 2000 models. Do not tighten the gas cap past 1 click. There is a tube that runs from the top of the tank down and this gets hot and collapses or burns in half. We just bought a reinforced rubber tube cut it to lengh and use it instead of part and it's worked grat for 2 years so far.

2000 chevy silverado 1500 4.8 4wd will not start

Your pump is controlled by the pcm using a 12 volt signal to the relay. Pull out the relay and probe the relay socket with a voltmeter. There should be 2 terminals with 12 volts when the key is on. With the key off, there should be one 12 volt terminal coming from the ecm b fuse. See top left of diagram below.

91 4runner not running on 1,3,&#4

Seems like you replaced everything on the ignition but the cap. Sounds like a good place to look to me.
Look for burn marks around contacts.

Turn over but well not stay running backfires though air intake

When is the last time you replaced your fuel filter? Check your fuel filter. If it's plugged you may have taken out the fuel pump. This happened to me. (2000 Chevy Silverado 1500)
