the kill switch will stop the fuel pump from running in case of an accident. But I did get the truck running by running power direct to the pump.but now the truck is back to were I started before it quit running. Some times when you come to a stop it will stall but it starts right back up or if your going down the road you feel a hesitation but keeps running. The throtle adjusting screw is turned in all the way and it is idleing normal the truck runs great most the time.

Did you check for any trouble codes? How many miles are on the engine? You might want to consider giving it a good tune up if it's due. It may even fix your stalling and hesitation. Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, clean throttle body, air filter, fuel filters.. That's a good start

check the yellow wire under the hood on the passenger side wheel well,it runs along the fender across the rad support and runs to the pump relay.it was broken in my red 86,the reason i got it cheap.also check your fuses.

the switch is called the inertia switch.
