GenII guys.... Help!

Hey gang,

need some help for my GenII. I've recently installed a new cap,rotor,spark
plugs,coil,MSD wires,Bosch oxygen sensor,crank position sensor, and EGR
valve/solenoid. I'm still having the same problem that I was before dumping
all this money in the truck. The computer was throwing codes for the O2 and
EGR, so I don't feel so bad about that.... however, the damn thing still
dies on me when decellerating, and sometimes at idle. I had her in the shop
today, and the guys were not getting any codes thrown, just that there was
no spark to the motor. Then out of the blue, it would start and run just
fine.

After narrowing it down to two things, a bad relay for the injection system,
and a distributor plate (?), they swapped the air conditioner relay with the
injection relay, said drive it around to see what it does. I made a good 70
mile run without one glitch, and then, BAM, a little bucking, then it died.
Fortunatly she fired right back up and ran until I got home. Does anybody
know what needs to be replaced in the distributor? It's not the bushing,
it's a plate that they said sends a signal to the coil. Also ran a pressure
test on the fuel pump and I'm getting 38 (not sure what rating that is...
psi, GPH, or what... but they said it was not defective).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Later,
