Default 91 Blazer-no idle, dies, then starts up

Got a 91 blazer (205,000 miles) that sometimes will die out at idle. Let it sit and then starts right up and runs fine (intermittent). I replaced the tank, fuel tree on top of the tank, fuel filter and fuel pump about a year ago. Codes were reading bad oxygen sensor and map sensor. Replaced both and currently no codes show up on the code scanner. Any help would be appreciated.

These trucks are really picky...replace 'em with AC Delco. For the wires, Autolite Professional seem to be good, but get Delco for everything else.

I hear ya but when it runs...it's not missing or sputtering...just intermittantly dies, especially at idle. No expert here but seems like it would run crappy all the time if the plugs, wires were the problem.

Default Update

Replaced Idle Air Control Valve, Ignition Coil, fuel pressure regular, fuel pump, and fuel injector relay. Still same problem. Local mechanic figured it out and it was the electronic spark control module.
