I have a 1995 Chevy 1500 with a 4.3L that has 277940 miles, standard transmission and no A/C, I've completed a full tune-up witch also includes the (map), (Iac), Temp. sensor, and the O2 sensor, I have set the timing to factory specifications and have cleared all codes. When I start the truck it idles smoothly however when i press the gas lightly the engine stalls and dies. What am i missing?

Well my scan tool really wasn't picking up a signal from the OBD plug, so all i did was disconnect the battery for ten min. to clear check engine light, and this particular model pick-up's fuel system I do not have the right connect fittings to properly test the fuel pressure so i do not know the codes nor do i know the fuel pressure.
