Hmmm. Check Fuel pressure at Schrader valve near motor. Oddly, try a fresh dist. cap. I know, it seems fine. I've seen several instances where the 4.3's are EXTREMELY sensitive to Dist cap issues. Once in an Astrovan to the point the dealership wound up calling the GM Tech Center, and that's what he told them to do. Cap was 6 months old. Swapped it, varoom. Also, if you can feel the pump runnin, and low pressure, sometimes the hose in the tank fails. All seems well, but no workie. Drop the tank and check the hoses.

PS- Hi Wade! Glad you're still out there. Hope it's going well.
