Truck would not stay running. Thought is was the fuel pump - replaced fuel pump but still would not stay running and died at start up. Placed on diagnostics and it first indicated master air flow problem then it finally read cataylic converters bad. Replaced cataylic converters but now truck is running too lean and stalls or dies when you first take off.

Lean fuel condition could be caused by one of the following below:


1.Vacuum leaks

2.EGR and PCV valve.

3.Inadequate fuel pressure.

4.Dirty fuel injectors.

5.MAF Sensor.

6.Oxygen Sensor.
