not 3rd gen but still chevy

My 88 Suburban 350 TBI keep throwing me a code 42 intermitantly. Now are the code numbers the same as my 88 IROC? If they are then this is an EST error. How would I go about fixing this? Is it the ignition module or coil. When it throws this code all my power vanishes with it. Any help would be great guys.

The codes are indeed the same. As for the why, well until you dig into it, the reasons can vary. Do a search using EST Code and you'll get a ton of posts. Read some for some ideas as to where to begin.
