Pretty sure it’s solved guys!! Had a hunch and finally yanked out the new replaced fuel regulator diaphragm even though fuel gauge was reading good even under load, pulled it out and thing was worn out like you wouldn’t believe, warrantied for a new one and is running way better. Best part is in the irony of ironies when I went to test fuel pressure with new one, the gauge stopped working.

well good you found the problem,. think people might have been mis led when u said you put on a rebuilt tbi,.
Now the diaphram is bad,.
Anyway i'll probably catch some flak but i shim my spring really tight,. with a nut or something,. i've no idea truthfully what it makes the fuel pressure but it wakes up the three tbi trucks i have had over the years,.
tbi has a return line,.. it works for me YRMV

I don't currently have one and am unaware of what the choices might be. Last time I was studying live data on OBD1 it was with an OTC Genisys, and it was enough years ago that the current Genisys may not be OBD1 compatible.

I do see OTC has a # 3211 that is OBD1 and OBD2 with live data capability on both but it appears to be discontinued. I also found the Actron CP9690 which looks suspiciously like a direct knockoff/copy of the OTC. Don't see the OTC used anywhere but I've found a couple used and a new Actron. There will be other solutions that people will chime in with but suffice it to say OBD1 support is quickly fading into history.

I have OTC Genisys (system 4 software) with OBD1 adapters for GM, works okay. These are cheap on Ebay, but long obsolete. Better investment would be the newer Bosch 1200-1300 scanners with OBD1 adapters. Keep in mind the data in the old ECMs was pretty basic compared to OBD!!.
