I had an old black one that I had gotten off of ebay just go bad on me. It would just die for no reason. Once while taking off from a light. At least she started back up and went but what a pain. Put in a brand spanky new one and no problems so far.

I would investigate a loose UVCH based on that bit of information. Also wouldn't hurt to check fuel pressure. How old is the oil you are running?

UVCH ? hmmm the oil is over due cause I thought it might be that too . When it started acting up I pulled over and checked the oil and I'm ashamed to say it was realy low so I put a gallon in to bring up the levels , but it still ran crap for quite a while and then stopped and ran fine ..on my way home from work it ran great 3/4 of the way home then started acting up again ...

Never thought about the UVCH. I have stopped driving the truck due to company car. Will have to take a look at that just to make sure that isn't the problem. Might as well tighten every thing up in there while I'm in there. Sounds like a project for this weekend maybe. Thanks guys'

No. That was in reference to the OP statement about being overdue and low quantity.
