I was driving the other night hope stopped at a stop sign and went to give it gas it would go but didnt have the power to get up and go. Came outside the next day to try and find the problem and its got worse to keep the truck running u have to push the gas all the way to the floor and it dont go over 2,000 rpm. Checked fuel to rail got good pressure and have spark. Any ideas what the problem could be?
