We're going to need some more info. What year is the truck? Engine size? Recent work done on it? Things checked already?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 01-Jan-03 AT 10:29 AM (EST)]do you get any error codes?
does the truck run rough all the time or just at idle?
do yo know someone who can check the fuel pressure at the injector rail?
I am not real good with electronic sensors, but I am wondering if you have a problem with the throttle position sensor, or maybe a fuel pump is heading south.
eden

how long has it been since youve changed the fuel filter?

keith w gave you some good advice in your last post about this problem. Have you verified your fuel pump kicking on everytime? Seems to me you need to verify which of the big three you are missing to continue... gas-air-spark.
