93 Chevy will not idle

Asked by Helpmeplease123 Jun 12, 2017 at 06:23 AM about the Chevrolet C/K 1500

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

It will start right up if I give it about half throttle it
will not stay running  more than 10 to 15 seconds
but if I put it in gear and give it gas it drives fine all
the way down the highway until I let off the gas
then it's like it's choking itself out  or stalling out

Well I think I found the problem when you're standing at the front of the motor looking at the driver side I have the 2 injectors if I unplug the one on the driver side lifted off the terminals and Idols beautiful just don't have the power like it should going down the road because it's starved fuel I believe it's a bad injector but everybody that commented gave me advice I appreciate it y'all are wonderful that's what I'm going to experience day by putting a new injector in see if that takes care of it
