2.8 V6,
when I apply presure to excelerate it kinda fills like the truck is running out of gas and when I release my foot it just stalls out. I just bought the truck for 750$ and was trying to flip it for a small profit so I am not trying to put too much excess $$ into the truck. Im hoping its an easy fix?

Have fuel pressure checked as well as the cat converter back pressure.

I believe it is carb. It is computer controlled and may need an overhaul
