95' GMC Jimmy Engine miss, help please!

If you get a chance, (with the engine OFF) take the air intake off the throttle body and take a look down inside. You will have to open the butterfly valve all the way. Look for changes in color on the inner surface of the intake. If there are any really clean areas (bare metal) in the normally sooty or slightly greasy coloring, you will most likely have a fuel management problem (leaky diaphram on the regulator). Fuel is leaking and cleaning off the intake, and the engine is not expecting to have this fuel.

I'm sure there are others here that can describe the problem >I got a 4.3 L 1995 GMC Jimmy, and lately i have noticed problems with my

Just a thought, if you've still got that puppy, you might have a fouled up cat or an O2 sensor (but not enought to send a code).

At idle, what do you smell from the exhaust? Does is smell normal?

I miss my '95 Jimmy. I don't miss the injector spider. :)

Thank you. Yes, I sometimes smell sulfur (rotten egg smell) It was a lot worse before I had it fixed last time.

Just to let you guys know, I removed my Oxygen sensor to see if it was bad, and when i put it back on the car would not start. I later went out and bought a new sensor and replaced it. After installing it, it still didn't start. I didn't think that the O2 sensor could possibly cause this. Turns out, it was the coil cap on the distributor that caused the car not to start. The cap was bad, all corroded and rotten. After buying a new one, my car runs great and I am looking forward to getting better gas mileage. Thank you all for your help.
