My truck won't turn over.I can drive it, as long as the gas pedal is depressed and I keep the rpm over the 1 mark, so driving with 2 feet, but once the gas is released, the whole truck shuts off. I don't feel safe driving like that. I wanna take it in to get it fixed, but I don't know how much can be done on my own, and also how much am I looking at? I've been told it may be my spark plugs, fuel injection system, fuel filter thing. I'd like to know exactly what's wrong so I don't have to pay alot for diagnostic too. If that's possible. Anyone got any suggestions?

Easy cheap fix, this means that your fuel/air mixture is off, and your computer aint fixing the problem which it should, go to a shop and have them test for the mixture through the exhaust, I forgot the test name, and get a new air filter, I had the same problem but with a carburator, I tuned her by ear with the mixture screw but on fuel injected they dont have the screws
