Question Acceleration

New to the site and you may have discussed this topic before. If it has been discussed, then can i get the info to review. When I accelerate it does not responde very well. Sometimes the throttle will open fully and sometimes it does not. Anyone else experience this problem? All comments welcome on how to correct this problem. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi doc, welcome to FTE!

When's the last time your truck saw new spark plugs and plug wires? How about air and fuel filters? Have you tried running some good fuel system cleaner through your motor? These are basic things to start with.

Then you can think about cleaning your MAF and Throttle Body.

Clogged fuel filter is often associated with what you describe.
