    Starts just fine, might idle might not, she might go 5-500 feet but will act as she's loosing all power. Rpm will go up and down while everything else looses power. Give her fuel she spudders as if she's isn't getting any... As we all know a woman never likes to be deprived! P.S. Hunting Season

    I have no idea, but my best advice would be start with the simple things and work from there. battery connections, plugs/wires, look for anything out of place. do you wrench on this truck, or usually bring it to a mech.?

    It's not likely, but you never know until you start diagnosing. Is the MIL on, same as the check engine light?

    You said new plugs and wires. Did the issue start when you replaced them or were those replaced awhile ago?

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    You should clean the IAC and throttle body also.
