Have you checked the IAC--Idle Air Control module? Usually when you unplug
it that will kill engine. It might not be working.

It could even be the TPS. If you used a wells (autozone) or cheapo advance, carquest, or napa part then it could have been bad right out of the box.

Only other thing I can think of is Timeing.

As for the IAC.
They can read right, and still not operate properly.

And the only other thing I didn't see mentioned was the FPR.

You could have one bad plug, improperly gapped plug or a shabby wire. Did you route your wires properly? Numbers 1 and 3 and 5 and 6 must stay far away from eachother and should not run underneath eachother at the dizzy. Any one of the above issues will cause a misfire up the rpm band without throwing any codes. Follow the routing example below.

http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/...media/470416_1


Turn the truck on late at night (dark as possible) and let it for 5-10 mins. Let it reach operating temperature and watch each cylinder for arcing as the rpm's go up. (Pull out the bulb underneath your hood).

If that doesn't work, I'd purchase some high quality suppression wires and NGK vcore plugs (you get what you pay for). Hit the contacts on the cap and rotor with a file to freshen it up. And try again.

I had a similar issue a few years back after a tune up. No codes and a bad miss around 2500 rpms. The plugs were gapped correctly and wires routed properly. But I had purchased a so-so brand of wires that came with 8 free autolites. I threw them in the garbage and picked up some quality wires and NGK plugs. Misfire disappeared.

Hope this helps,
Mike

Has it been doing this for very long.
What is the posibility of a bad batch of gas ?
You might try adding some dry gas or seafoam to your gas.
