Been having a stalling issue with my 95 obs . Truck turns on fine but after a good while of driving the truck stalls and won’t turn back on I have to wait until the truck cools down for it to work again . Also noticed that when I was hauling some wheels the truck didn’t even last 5 mins and it kept stalling constantly. If anyone has had this issue please help me

You are either losing spark or fuel. Need a spark tester and fuel pressure gauge at the minimum to see which one is falling off.

Doesn't the ICM sometimes die if it overheats? @PlayingWithTBI is one of our TBI experts. Hopefully he can chime in.

Yep, it can, especially when heat related as described. OP, how old and what brand ICM do you have? The ignition coil can/will take out the ICM too. Is the Pickup Coil inside the distributor in good condition without any cracks?

Sounds like a fuel delivery problem.
It's always a good idea to check fuel pressure too.

Then you can put a scanner on it and see what's going on. The scanner can't tell you if you have low fuel pressure, except for maybe the O2 feedback being low. It can't tell you if your ICM or Coil is bad either, or if any other wiring/equipment are bad but, it may give you an idea where to look if there isn't anything obvious in the data stream.

I see you have already started a thread about your issue.

There are other suggestions like, fuel pressure, scanner, wiring/connectors, etc. Just because they're ACDELCO doesn't mean you don't have a bad one. :33:
