Engine Mechanical problem
1994 GMC S15 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 110k miles

When I start my 1994 GMC Jimmy S-15 It sounds as tho it is going to turn over. However It wont turn over unless I pump the gas once or twice. I have a worn out catalytic converter and or muffler and just recently had problems with the exhaust making my jimmy shake and idle very ruff when I would come to a stop. This however has stoppep a little after I used a bottle of seafoam. So heres my main? What could be causing my truck not to turn over without pumping the gas peddle once or twice?

Sounds like the famous EGR problem. They get stuck open with a small chunk of carbon. This makes the fuel mix VERY lean and the engine bucks and shuts down.
Easy fix is to get a Kleen Screen type gasket, pull the EGR (front of the intake manifold tucked behind the water outlet) clean it well and then install the screen.
