My Engine is running fine while I am running the gas, But it is only -IDLING @ .4-.5 wich is causing the lights to dim and the truck to stall. Not all the time just after exsellerating then stoping. Is this my SPARK PLUGS or ssomething else.

Thank's

try cleaning the throttle platewith choke cleaner. Do this while the engine is off. it may be hard to start after that. make sure to clean both sides and also clean the oblong hole that you will see there that's the idle air control valve. they tend to get gunked up with oil. Make sure to put the air duct back on all the way otherwise it won't run right.
