92 Silverado dies while driving
92 Silverado 350 sometimes dies while driving down the road. It seems worse when I let of the gas. Its like turning of the key except all dash lights are on when it dies like when the key is on before you start the engine. It restarts OK.

RE: 92 Silverado dies
Under your dash you should have a 12 or 14 slot plug, It should be mounted towards the front. (drivers side) If you jump the bottom right terminals with a wire then turn your key to run your engine light will flash. Count the flashes. The first one should be one short flash, long pause, 2 short flashes. That is normal and should flash that 3 times. Anything after that is a trouble code. Once you get that you can call Auto-Zone or Advance Auto Parts and they can tell you what is wrong with it. Or at least why your light is on.
If you can/want to drive it they can check it for you for free too.
Start with that and let us know.

I had the same problem with my 96 350. It would just die while driving and moments later start back with no problem. A few months later while driving it completly went dead. I took it to the shop and my fuel pump was bad.

It probably depends on the Auto-Zone then. They used to check mine for me. They even gave me one of the keys.
I think I would check your fuel pump too. See how much pressure it is getting.

OkieChevy- I've got a 91 Chevy and a 98 chevy and my brothers got a 94. They've all had the same exact problem and it was the fuel pump on all of them. Take it to a shop and they can test the pressure it's putting out.
Fix_03- What year is it? If its pre 96 it could be your timing. 96 and up have electronic timing you cant adjust. Could be your injectors or a fuel pressure regulator. Take yours to a shop to and they can test those parts for you
