89 iroc z tpi hard to crank on cold start and when driven long distances
iroc z tpi motor hard to start on first intial crank and after warmed up and driven long distances and shut off (like to stop for gas) car has to sit a while to crank back up. installed brand new fuel pump,fuel pressure regulator, fuel filter, distributor, ignition coil, fuel sender unit to fix gas hand problem and every now and then the hand is accurate but most of the time it just sticks all the way up to F. Also, the car only takes about 6 7 8 dollars of gas at a time before the gas pump starts clicking as if tank was full of gas. Today me and my mechanic unplugged the rigged up radiator fans on my car to see if they were connected to something else and car stopped missing and stalling which it has been doing for a while now. Can anybody help me cause people are telling me knock sensor might be bad timing chain and and other bull... Thanks in advance!!!

Ohm test the injectors with a multimeter. Tell us your results. Check them both cold as well as hot.
What is your base timing set at?
