Fuel is not coming out of the injectors. Fuel Is going to the carb, but not into it. I recently found out that GM made the engine in my Rodeo, and I had a 1992 GMC Sonoma. I had the same exact problem with the truck. I can't remember the names of all the parts I had replaced in the GMC, but I rebuilt the carb twice, replaced the TPS, some air sensor, the map sensor, and even went as far as replacing the computer it's self. Well the truck eventually found it's way to the junk yard after I dumped $500.00 into it, to try to find the problem. Now I sit on this Rodeo with the same symptoms. I don't want to spend monies, and junk it. When it was driving it was running good, but if you pressed the gas pedal like you should it seemed to get to much gas. It would spit, and spudder. The whole car would jerk violently, and you could smell gas exspecially at lights. It never stalled. It ran fine, but if you gently pressed the gas pedal it ran perfect. In every gear, but you had to let it gradually get to speed. Thank you for your time.
