check an exhaust leak this will make the computer think it's running lean.

I have a 1994 Sonoma. After replacing many things, including the O2 sensor twice, the CPU, EGR valve, cap & rotor, the spark plugs too many times to count (each time they were replaced it was worse - I did this almost monthly, if not 2 times a month,) it seemed to be better for a week, but then it went back it it...I felt...well, like this guy-->:banghead:.

But, finally the problem was found, the fuel injector, so I agree with amac209, but if that does not work for ya (cause I do NOT know anything about codes), I think you should for SURE, check that thing.

hey jezzka you said you had to replace your injectors,what was your truck running like?I have a 94 sonoma with the 4.3 and like you I have replaced the o2 sensor cap wires plugs cleaned throttle body changed oil added injector cleaner and still I only get about 19mpg.Maybe I have the same problem you had,but my truck runs fine not sluggish or anything but the plugs and the 02 sensor were fouled like a rich running engine.
