well well i found 2 problems with my truck after driving today
 
i drove my truck 20 miles today
on my way home it started to sputter then the rpms dropped almost shut off on me
i think its my fuel pressure maybe cloged fuel filter
i checked other threads
i did check my tbi it was squecky clean
also checked the plugs wires cap and rotor and the pcv and egr and maff all good
i went to my local conviniece store and put it in park then it bogged down and shut off it started right up after that
so im thinkin fuel pressure i also put some fuel system cleaner in the gas tank as the owner said the truck sat for 2 weeks before i baught it so im gonn let that work thru the system before i go out and barrow a fuel pressure testor from the oriellys auto parts stor
but if that dont work i am gonna have to check the fuel pressure
it also when drivein is shifting kinda weird from 2-3 kinda hesitates the fluid levels are good but could use a change in the tranny fluid and new filter it looks kinda burnt
but after a while the truck runs great
so maybe its just a fuel pressure problem
also my parking brake light keeps goin on i kno the problem is the pedal falls freely to the floor without any assistance from me i just move the little lever on the pedal up and it stays fro a while i think it needs new springs
if any one knows of the parking brake problem i am having let me know this is a first for me
i will updaye the sputtering proble m after i use the full tank of gas i haave in it
thanks

well im goin to end up havingto replacethe cable for the parking brake or emergency brake as some call it
that is not gonna be a fun endevor for me as im not sure of how to do that
and i will be getting the temp sensor friday
also i am goin to have my buddys dad run a pressure test on the truck anyway after i replce the fuel filter
i stoped by te local mechanic today to ask him if he would do it he said try replacein the sensor as i was already goin to before he told me that also he said try a new fuel filter
and replace the tbi gasket wich in theory shouldnt be hard but as we all now nothing goes as planned
