    choice spark plugs

    I always used normal Champion plugs in my 90 Sierra 5.7l. I never had a problem. All of those fancy plugs will just lighten your wallet.

    Sudden loss of power and backfire at idle

    Distributor cap. Especially since the OP cleaned the engine and said he/she got moisture under the cap.

    Stalling 1990 sierra

    I had this in my 90 Sierra 5.7l about a year ago. Turns out the distributor cap was bad.

    Washer Fluid Pump - Cutting out

    Yes just the passenger side. Driver's side still works great. I checked the hose and nozzle and all are clear. That's why I figured the circuit board. But then again I did nickname this truck "Christine". Lol

    Washer Fluid Pump - Cutting out

    The passenger side on my 90 Sierra stopped working several years ago. I'm sure it was the circuit board but I've just never got around to fixing it. Nozzle isn't clogged.

    94 K1500 check engine light no codes

    O2 sensor? My 90 started setting the CEL years ago only at highway speeds and only after about 5 minutes on the highway. I changed out the O2 sensor and the EGR valve. Problem solved. I noticed the O2 sensor was not listed in the parts you have changed.

    Hesitation at low to mid rpms, and voltage drop from a/c compressor

    How old is the battery and alternator? Have you had them tested? Also check and make sure there isn't any corrosion on the battery cables themselves. Even under the sleeves. My 90 Sierra 5.7l did the same when the cables were corroded under the sleeves. Replaced cables and problem solved.

    Cruise Control Issues

    Change the sensor I am not an expert on this one but I am pretty sure that would affect the cruise control.

    Engine ticking noise finally fixed

    Duralast is what I used last time. They were great wires and I got 10 years out of them.

    Engine ticking noise finally fixed

    I know I just put A/C Delco wires on my 90 Sierra with 5.7l. Never again. I had a hell of a time getting those wires onto the plugs and dist cap. Never had this issue with other brands. I am surprised I didn't break a plug doing it.

    AC/Smog pump delete question. Need help!

    Now I need to go look at my truck. I have never seen one of those on my 90 Sierra. I am in Texas and I don't need to have an emissions test either since my truck is over 25 years old.

    AC/Smog pump delete question. Need help!

    I don't want to sound stupid but I'm really not sure what the smog pump looks like. Maybe someone else here can answer that question for you.

    AC/Smog pump delete question. Need help!

    I know the auto parts stores sell a shorter belt if you don't want to go the A/C bypass pulley route. So the choice is yours. I personally put the bypass pulley on mine.
