Help !

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 22-Oct-02 AT 06:45 PM (EST)]The last week or so i would go and warm my truck up like usual. Then on my way to school, i will stop (like at a stop sign or something) then get ready to go again and give it gas and it will kind of stall and act like it wants to die but doesn't, till i let off the gas then give it gas again then it will go like usual. What seems to be the problem? THank You

First thing I'd do is change the fuel filter.

Not enough choke? Even though you let it warm up, it may still need a little bit of choke action to keep it running until it's fully warmed up.

look down the carb with the engine off, work the gas and see if you see gas squirting out of the acc. pump. if this is not or very little gas this will cause that problem. how are the tun up parts plugs cap rotor?
