About six months ago i noticed that my truck was slightly hesitating when i accelerated from a stop. I didn't think much of it then but now it stalls out completely for about five to ten seconds and then goes making it pretty much undriveable. Once the truck gets above 2000 rpms it is fine. I have been searching on this topic for months and have been reading the fsm and haven't found the solution. It will only stall under load and it is much worse when it's at operating temp.
Here's a list of parts that have replaced since the issue occurred:
Cap and Rotor
Plugs and Plug Wires
O2 Sensor
Fuel Pressure regulator (Adjustable aftermarket one)
Fuel Pump (Walbro 255)
My first thought was fuel starvation so i tested the fuel pressure at idle and actually ended up with around 60 psi rather that the stock 33 psi at idle. I bought an adjustable on with a built in gauge and set it to about 40 psi and it still stalled just as bad. I then noticed that my fuel pump was whining a lot louder that it used to so i replaced it with a walbro and i still have this same issue. I am not running any emissions on it and i had the problem before i removed the emissions. Does anyone have any ideas? All of the other posts i have seen on this issue never have an answer to what the problem was.
