truck has had new distributor,new distributor cap,new rotor button, new plug wires, new plugs twice, new fuel filter. Have also checked fuel pressure. its around 50. I have taken off the egr valve and cleaned and checked. I have checked all vaccum hoses. The truck runs horrible especially when starting off in 1st and 2nd gear. It runs better after 3000 rpm but still will skip just like it is cutting off. At idle if you slowly give it rpm's it will skip. It has no check engine light and no stored codes. Also have had head gasket checked and sprayed starting fluid around intake gasket to check for leak. I can not find the problem. Also ran 2 tanks of gas with injector cleaner.

Your fuel pressure is on the high side -should read at idle 31-37psi idling. Check the fuel pressure regulator andfor a clogged return line-

Test the TPS and MAF sensor to include CHM/CPS sensors
