    truck runs normal while driving for hundred of miles . If you let off the throttle the RPMs eventually drop after a few seconds it struggles to run and then dies. The truck will occasionally die while driving, maybe once every couple hundred miles then starts right back up. Open to hearing options. Video added to post.

    When was the last tune up? Plugs, wires, distributor, air filter, cleaned MAF sensor? Do you have any check engine lights? If so have you scanned them to see what they state?

    No CEL no codes. It has new plugs and wires. I’ve ordered a new cap and rotor. Probably should get a coil as well.

    Have you tried cleaning your throttle body? How many miles on the Taco? It could be a number of things. Always try the simple small stuff first if you can, 9 times out of 10 it ends up being something small.
