Only thing I can think is that the injectors are leaking in the intake manifold. Or timing is way off.

replaced it on my sons 94 s10 and that problem went away,now we are trying to bucking from i believe fuel starvation,but there is not a schrader valve on this year truck to check fuel pressure with a gauge.
