92Vortec won't stay running
Ok, my 92 (vortec) will fire up after cranking for a little while and run pretty ok (little ruff) than stall out after a few minutes, and won't start up agian till it sits for several hours. Truck has new fuel pump (right around 60psi@shrader) and new in-plenum lines, not sure on the technical term there, not to mention all new tune up parts (plugs/wires/cap/rotor/coil/module) and of course new gaskets intake manifold and up (no external leaks). Alternator tests good(in car). 12.7volts at battery not running. new battery wires.
Side question: I'm getting a code 43 (ESC) and soon found an unpluged knock sensor (connector physically dammaged). Ok, bad knock signal maybe the PCM's retarding the spark so much the motor's stalling out, I thought, but if that's true wouldn't that be bypassed when I unplugged the distrbutor reference wire (the wire under the pass. dash for setting base timing, which is accuratly set, btw)?
Also: I keep blowing 20amp fuse Ignition/Gauges
whole story: truck was driving fine than started bogging on the road and quickly stalled out..after sitting she started right up and then soon bogged/stalled again. now the truck won't stay running for mor than a few minutes
I'm in need of some help here because I'm out of ideas and rather pissed off. Any help would be greatly appricieted. Has anyone else had similar problems?

Sounds like you have a wiring problem if you are blowing a 20 amp fuse... Probably grounding out a hot wire for the ignition causing it to stall.
