I have a '92 GMC Suburban 4X4, and it's running like shiate...

Whenever I turn the engine over, it takes a long time to start, and once it's running, if I push the gas peddle, it dies...

fuel pump? fuel filter?

Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down,
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown!

You have a fuel injection car, and a possible fuel problem. Change your fuel filter and get the product Redline fuel injector cleaner, part # SI-1, it's good for 100 gallons but you will need to put the entire bottle in your tank, possibly two if you have a 40 gallon tank and run it. I sell plenty of this product in my auto part stores with never a complaint, it is also the most expensive and well worth it.

You also may have failing spark plug wires, an easy test for that is to run you truck a night without light and look under the hood to see any blue flame or electric trail coming from your wires, or you plugs of your distributor cap. A fun way to check this is to have your wife hold the wires while you attemp to start the engine, but this method is certainly not for the weak for test results have been know to get bloody and the most serious ones have ended a fine relationship. Good luck

The dreaded GM Throttle Body Injection no like start syndrome! Sounds like it's time to systematically go thru your stuff there GEO. Any Check Engine lights coming on? By jumping between two pins on the engine's control management computer thingy, will make it blink a stored code that will give you a starting point to look at. When is the last time that you've had a basic tuneup? Might be time with your Baja runner, like DT and BC are saying.
If there are no check engine lights on, a basic test of just pulling the negative lead to the battery will clear any compensations that the ECM might have made to an intermittant problem and should put it back to its default setting. Look down into the throttle body with a small flashlight to see what kind of spray pattern those two black injectors sitting at the top of the TB are doing. If they are dribbling and not giving a good cone like pattern, check the filter first, there may be three in that big truck of yours, then go from there...Hard to do this stuff by BB that's for sure..
What's the mileage?
