Will crank and I'll find after driven about 5 miles it will stall like starving for gas but will still idle and accelerate after a second and then we'll stall again.

Hi,

Based on your description, the first thing I would recommend is checking the fuel pressure. It sounds like you are running out of fuel.

If you look below, I attached the direction specific to this vehicle.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

joe
