Hi, My problem is that when you rev the truck up it will cut in and out but won't completely stall. It runs fine at an idle hot or cold, only when you try to give some throtle does it do this any ideas?

Justin, does the engine have a carb or fuel injection?

Regardless, I would start by making sure the carb / throttle body is tight. Also, make sure there are no vacuum leaks.

Let me know what you find.
