Post engine stall/die

I have a 95 EB 351, with 81K on it. Ran fine up until recently. stalls then dies when idling. let it sit a few minutes and it fires right up, drives for a few miles then it dies again. The only way to keep it going is to shift down into 1st so the rpm's stay up near 3k, but as soon as you let it down or have to shift to neutral in case of a stop light etc., she will die immediately. I let it sit for a couple of hours after i crawled home and it ran fine, drove it around the block for 15 mins. and problems repeated. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I agree. You may want to replace your fuel filter. I replace mine about every 3rd oil change just because it has been cheap insurance for my 89 EB. Could also be fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump vacuum lines etc... So many things can cause this but I would start with the filter.

Post later what you fix was.

Beyond the fuel filter, a filthy or non-functioning EGR valve will wreak havoc on idle especially once the truck has warmed up and it should be open.
