After starting my truck and driving a short distance, the engine just dies. It starts right back up and it may do this once or twice and then runs perfectly. I have changed out fuel filter,spark plugs,plug wires,rotor and distributor cap. What can be causing it to just die and what should I check and do next to fix the problem . Thanks for your help
