Uhhh, weird. Perhaps the brake light switch is malfunctioning.

As for the inability to achieve higher RPMs, perhaps it the fuel filter is partially restricted or clogged. When was the last time it was replaced?

For cleaning the MAF and TB, see the bottom of this how-to.

If things start to fail at the same time it might be an electrical problem

Well this isnt all at the same time so i think im ok and my brake light wa just low brake fluid. But my gas mileage just completly went down on me. I usually get about 210 miles to a tank and latley only 180 im thinking maybe a fuel filter? Idk but i need to fix my truck up soon because im never going to sell it.

By brake light do you mean the indicator on the dashboard, or the red ones on the back of the car?

Low brake fluid won't turn on the ones in the back.

Get the engine codes pulled at AutoZone, even though the CEL isn't lit there's probably a stored code.
