[89gmc2500]

I have done almost everything to fix. replaced fuel pump,fuel pump relay,oil press sw,tps,map,ecm,rebuilt fuel press regulator on tbi, will start once in awhile but will not stay running at idle. in starting mode no power to injectors. if i prime tbi will run as long as you keep rpms above idle but as soon as you go to idle it dies! please help before i tear my hair out or spend every pennie i have

Welcome to AF. How about the basics, vacuum leaks, iac not working to manintain idle speed, any misfire, Find the issue of no power to the injectors when cranking first. Wiring diagrams at autozone.com, repair guides.

The injectors on this truck get there signal from the ignition modual and pick up coil under the distributor cap. I have seen a truck about the same year have spark but no signal to the injector, it ended up being the ignition modual. Hope this helps.
