My truck was running great and suddenly started acting like it was out of gas. It will start and run, but now I have to tap on the gas pedal so it won't stall.I t will eventually run okay, but seems like it's not getting fuel. Could it be a fuel filter, fuel pump or fuel injector issue? I use my truck for work and need to repair it right away.

Is the problem only evident at an idle?

Yes, it seems to be okay once it gets going.

Check for a vacuum leak and check to make sure the IAC is working properly.
