i got a 1993 chevy 4.3 tbi rwd automatic.
will start running bad after warming up and acting like its starving for gas or something but i hit the gas and sometimes it will level back out . and also happens when i put it in reverse or drive it happens also. It wiill also run fine on the street (sometimes) but when i start to break it starts to stall or something and then once i stop its fine again or ( sometimes) will try to pull me through the light. no engine light either. i changed a bunch of stuff but idk could it be a ground? ran good all summer tho besides the hard starts but always started. If you guys got any idea's post them pleasel. Thanks!

What all did you replace?

Have you checked fuel pressure?

Hitting the brakes and stalling can be an indication of a vacuum leak. Spray some carb cleaner around the TB (including the throttle shaft) and vacuum lines while the engine is running.
