Default stalling on takeoff

Have a 1998 5.7L. When I take off it stalls, like it is starving for gas. Changed fuel filter, any other help would be greatly appreciated.

Spray some throttle body cleaner with the motor off and let it sit for a few minutes. Then start up and spray some more while the motor is reved up.

Down the throttle body plates, inside around. If its dirty, you will see it run down.
