hesitation

Hi there,
I have a 1986 ford f150 302 EFI 4X4. My truck has ran like a top and is in great condition (186,000km). It is starting to hesitate pulling away in 1st gear and sometimes stalls while idling in gear. As soon as you give it more gas it is fine. What could the problem be? Last year I did the basic tune up stuff (plugs, wires, cap etc...). I even tried the EFI cleaner in the intake. I really do not want to take it to a mechanic for diagnosis ($$$).

Any help is greatly appreciated!
