Sounds lik it may be fuel related. Have you replaced the filters? Posibly the over drive needs to be adjusted. (lose nuts/connectors can cause slippage in the OD linkage. By the way I don't suppose you coul tell me what the Torq is on the headbolts for a blazer 1989 1500 5.7 TBI? Cant read through the stains in my manual.
