Once the truck warms up, it runs fine until I stop at light and then it starts missing, cutting out and then dies.

Start by cleaning the IACV, EGR and PCV valves and test the TPS and MAP sensors-to include a fuel pressure check

Is this monitored static fuel pressure-possibly the IACV, EGR valve and TPS/MAP sensors

1.Defective spark plugs

2.Inadequate spark/coil,defective spark plug wire.

3.Lack of compression
