Truck kills while driving or while idling. Starts right back up and sometimes runs for a long time and sometimes not . It seems like sometimes I can get it to kill if I floor it a few times. The engine light does not come on and there is no code in the computer. I have replaced many parts.

I uswed to have 1 95 that did that. I used throttle bosy cleaner and cleaned the inside of the throttle body a couple of times. The carbon build up was enough to clog up a air hole inside the throttle body. With a 156,000 miles that could be the problem on yours.
