that's what you are going to have to do is check it when it acts up and then see if you are loosing spark or fuel to know what to check next .

Well my 1989 gmc v1500 5.7 will fall on its face when I accelerate after it has been running for awhile . I have replaced the injectors ,IAC ,throttle position sensor, o2 sensor ,egr valve, egr solenoid , map sensor and pcv valve. The fuel pump and ignition control module went out a few months ago and were replaced , that is when this all started , also had surging and hard starting actually had to hold the throttle open to get to start but that stopped after egr was replaced.
