You need to determine if it's a spark or fuel problem, I would suspect fuel pump or filter

We have a 1992 C/K 1500 that up until 8 months was our dream truck. Then the ' stalling and running rough ' symptoms started. Long story short and a lot of parts later , we were able to get information posted by General Motors in the form of what they call 'Technical Service Bulletins', or TSB's. There were several TSB's on our Chevy trucks that pertained to 'Hard Start', 'Stalling', and many more. We found the address through Edmunds.com. You just put your truck information where they ask and the bulletins come up. Then click on each area of concern and the information shows in detail whats up with your truck. Hope this helps to at least point you in the right direction.
