So to start off, I bought a 92 k5 blazer in March this year, and it seemed to be doing great, well not 2 months after having it, the rod bearings went to shit and ruined the camshaft, alls well with that as I replaced the engine, took all the sensors and TBI, from the old engine and put them on the new one, now 6 months after having the car I hear rattling at 2000 rpms, only while in drive, and just today, she decided to leave me stranded with me, my girl and daughter on the side of a busy road, the first thing that happened is I was taking a corner noticed that the temperature gauge was through the roof, and it just died on me, pulled into a stop and filed the radiator as it has a small crack in it, after that let it sit and cool off for a few hours, before taking off again, drove for about 5 minutes and it does again, and won't restart, checked the water, still full and not too hot either, so jerry rigged the crack to leak less just in case, turned the key and it fire back up, went about 4 blocks and it started sputtering and died, checked water again just fine not even hot, try starting it up and nothing, so I check for the fuel pump hum, and it's there, so I go to fire it up and it's starts up again for about 30 seconds then sputters and dies, get a tow back home, and just out of curiosity tried it again, started up and ran for about 2 minutes then spotters and died, throttle wasn't responsive after hitting 1500 rpms due to the sputtering, please of you could help me in any way with advice or knowledge it would be greatly appreciated
