Default K5 Blazer Stalling

I just bought a 85 K5 and had new belts put on, and fluids changed. Drove it home and on the way it stalled out on me. It would start back up and I would go to put my foot on the gas and it would die. It keep doing that so I called the place that did my service. They towed it back to the shop. changed the fuel pump, rebuilt the Carbuerator, new starter, Reset the timing. I picked it up and the same thing happened. can you help please?

Welcome to the forum! Stop by the New member welcome area if you would like!

Fuel delivery problem. Check your pump, and filter!

Thanks for the welcome!

Both the pump and the filter have been replaced since the first stall. It didn't seem to fix the problem.

No, the shop did and they checked all the spark plugs. It's sparking fine.

Hmm.. Im stumped here... Did you check fuel pressure? Kind of sounds like idle/air mixture screws could be off to.. The way i do those is screw them all the way in then two and a half turns out. Does it pop when it quits? Like out of the carb.?

Yes. It does pop when it quits. I have talked to different people and some say there could be a leak from the manifold. The last thing the shop told me is that they sprayed on the right hand side of the motor and the idle fluctuated, but in a good way. Could it be that?

Yes it could be a vaccum leak! Check your intake, also check all your vaccuum lines!
