Had a P0200 (open injector circuit) code thrown earlier in the day but continued to drive with no issues. Also, the check engine light went off with continued driving. Later in the evening, hopped in the truck and put it in reverse and halfway down the driveway the truck just shut off/stalled out. I was able to get the engine to turn over a few times but idled rough and shut off. Headlights come on until I put key into the on position. Now I am getting absolutely no turnover. Any ideas? Please help! Any questions you have please ask.

The code P0200 in a 1999 Chevrolet S-10 indicates an issue with the fuel injector circuit. This code suggests that there might be a problem with the electrical connections or the fuel injectors themselves. 9 times out of 10 you have a shorted fuel injector or the wiring to the injector is shorted. Here is a guide to help you test the injectors and replace the one that is no good, this should fix the problem because the injector driver inside the PCM cannot not work when there is a shorted injector.

Please go over this guide and let me know.
