1991 GMC TBI 350 sierra stalls bad

I have a 1991 GMC Sierra 350 5.7L. It runs really really rough on start up, when the weather is warner it runs better, not good, just better. I have replaced plugs, wire, pick up coil, ignition coil, rotor and fuel filter. I am stumped on this one, i usually am pretty good at working on vehicles, but i am at a loss of ideas. I have heard that it could be your Oil Pressure Sensor, retarding your firing? After i warm it up it will not run that bad but off the jump it does, for example when i take off onto the highway from the access road i have to punch it because if not it will bog down bad and accelerate and a very minimal speed. HELP

Could be the TPI Sensor or it might be a touch out of timing.

Check your electronic spark control module and knock sensor, or your throttle position sensor

1991 GMC Sierra K1500 stalls randomly and starts when it wants

A bad ignition module can give you fits!!!! Replace it even if it doesnt fix it! You will be glad you did! Most likely that is the problem ,however!

Rough idle and accelleration in my 89 GMC truck with a 350 TBI

Try a new distributer cap and rotor button,these are notorious for wearing out the carbon pick-ups and leaving carbon tracks in the cap which messes up the fireing order.If that does'nt fix it try plugs and wires.
