Please bear w/me as I try to explain what`s happening & what I`ve noticed along the way..
I have a '99 S-10 2wd 2.2l (mfi/sfi)..
No signs of any problem prior to the start of this mess..Come out of store, truck started right up,but as soon as I tried to give it gas, it stalled..After a few tries,I left it overnight..Next day, same thing..Did notice there seemed to be excess of water in tail-pipe, so added some dry gas,also noticed service light was on..Had a computer(?) hooked to it,but no codes showed..After some time playing w/gas pedal it would idle on it`s own as long as I did`nt try to give any gas,left it again..Came back 3rd day,still started right up, but needed time to get it to idle again..Don`t know what fixed it,but after 10 minutes of idling, I could drive it again like nothing ever happened & on way home the service light went out..
2nd time, same thing, after driving back from town, went to start, fired right up,but would stall if givin any gas..This time, after a few tries of starting & trying to get it to idle,it quit starting all together..After a couple hrs., I got it running w/high idle & popped clutch and let it idle back to house..But after I turned it off, it would`nt start..This time also noticed service light on.the mileage lcd would go dim & lights on stereo would go out when trying to start..Couldn`t get it to start, & realized now the fuel pump was not turning on..Couple days later was going to change pump, but tried starter fluid 1st..It fired right up & ran normal again..Started & turned off about 5 times that day,drove to post office and back-everything was great,service light off..Drove 2 more times-all fine..Went to mothers house, when ready to leave,truck started but stalled when given gas..Now is when I noticed all the following:When not started, I don`t have tail/brake,or license lights..Headlights & front parking work..When running, no headlights & ft. parking are very dim, tail/brake lights work, but when I push on brake,truck stalls..Now even more weird,during the times of trying to start, I lost power to fuel pump, let off parking brake, started again on 1st try,but still only idling..Also w/out running,I tried turn signals,the arrows on dash start out normal for a sec. then dim out..While it idles as soon as I try to turn on parking/headlights they turn on for sec. then truck shuts off..It`s still sitting this time..
It`s the 3rd time it`s happened,each time problem happens is when trying to start, after driving..When it does run, it`s like there never was a problem, no misses,all lights work,etc..I`m at a loss!!
Thank you for your time & any info or help..
