My truck has a couple different problems that all started happening around the same time. First off when first started it idles erratically and usually stalls the first time. When i start driving and give it fuel it hesitates untill it warms up a little. When it is driven for a while and heats up it will stall when i give it alot of fuel and it is also hard to start up after the engine is hot. Can you give me any ideas to what might be the problem or anything i can check to figure it out?
