I have a hesitation or stumble when I drive the truck under load. It idles fine. It only happens when I put load on the engine. It stalls when I'm backing into the driveway. I have replaced the distributer cap/rotor, plugs, wires, coil, fuel pump, fuel filter, and air filter. I've checked the ground points I can see, and tested the charging system. It all checks ok. Any ideas?

Could be caused by one of the following below:

Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.
Crankshaft position sensor
Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
False air leakage.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.

Note:If it doesn't apply disregard it.
