If you have your original 350 ECM, you will have to get a compatible ECM for your 305.

Same ecms a 305 will run off a 350 ecms and vise versa. First off while cranking is the injectors spraying fuel. If not then pull the cap off the distributor and remove the little sensor that's held with 2 bolts. Then get a new one problem solved

I need help bad. My truck us a Chevy 1500 1995 and if I drive about 30 miles or so and hit a red light and go to hit the gas. I'll have the peddle to the floor and it will start off slow then out of no where kick in and speed up. And if I'm going down the high way and the cruise control is on and I'm going up a hill it will do that. Throttle slow then kick in and speed up. Also when I go to slow down pulling in some where the truck sounds like its about to shut off then comes back to normal. What wrong with it? 11 Answers

Ppl say it is my throttle body or my filter on my fuel pump or its I have no back pressure and my o2 senser is messed up since its straight pipe no cat converter. What is it.
