"i would consult a service manual."

All I've ever done was use a prestone complete fuel system cleaner and a bottle of STP injector cleaner (black bottle) together once a year
and a STP black bottle every 5000 miles

want to get a slight increase in MPG's and smoother idle a set of 5.0 - 4 hole injectors

Did you check the fuel pump relay and ASD relay under the hood in the fuse box?

Both o2 sensors? That is some coin, right>? How about vacuum leak?this is a 12 year old truck. I have had old rotted hoses on my truck when it was 2 years old.

mario, get a can of Seafoam and follow the directions on the can. that should clean the fuel system out.

somehow i doubt that's your problem. otherwise you'd be getting misire codes.

would it still throw a misfire code if was firing, but just not like its supposed too?

yeah both o2's were 160 bucks. all of my vacume hoses appear to be okay, any one i should pay special attention too?

maybe the ones that you cannot see. Seems like you have thrown good money after bad. Have you had a diagnostic done on it? They are only like 85 bucks or so. A quick vacuum test would be to run some propane over the lines and when you get a change in the motor your leak is in that area.

i got the truck back what happend was....

as for it starting and stalling, cheap autozone iac was the fault, replaced it from napa....problem gone.

i was doing a compression test and forgot to pull the fuel pump relay while cranking the motor. so when i went to actually start it it backfired through the tail pipe and sounded like a bomb went off in my garage, it crack the insulators an all 6 plugs........so yeah, there still isnt any torque but ill be replacing the torque converter soon. thanks for all the help.
