93 - that's still OBD-1 (EEC-IV). Not many technicians are
familiar with that system any more. As my colleague stated,
I'd look at the fuel system - pressure and volume (not just a
squirt from the schraeder valve on the fuel rail but a reading
with a gauge. A crank sensor will set code and a Check
Engine light but won't stop the truck - it will make it hard to
start but it will start in a fail-safe Mode (Formally called FMEM
- Failure Mode Effects Management). From what little you
describe; dies wile driving, failing Fuel Pump, Plugged
exhaust, failing coil pack. Have those components checked
or you'll just be throwing money at an old truck.
