Engine problems on a 1989 gmc r3500 with a 454 tbi.
my old truck is randomly sputtering.its like it don't get any gas but when it does it you can put it in neutral and it will run fine but put it back in drive and it will do it agian.they are completely random.it wont do it every time but most of the time.ive changed the plugs and the wires and fuel filter.

First thing that comes to my mind is a week fuel pump or the ignition module is going out. To check the fuel pressure is a bit tricky on that engine and Requires a test adapter to install at the fuel filter or the TBI.

No not at all. A cracked line would still send fuel through the lines, but you will be low on pressure and volume. A cracked line would cause a low power concern when driving , but vehicle would still be able to idle.

could that be why it seames to be getting a little worse and why it only does it when it needs gas the most during acceleration
