When I crank the truck, it takes 3-4 seconds to crank up. Sometimes it shuts right back off. I have to pat the accelerator to keep the truck running. While driving, the check engine light comes on periodically. Sometimes while driving the truck seems to surge, and also when I stop the truck shuts off but cranks right back up. I have replaced plugs, wires, rotor button,fuel filter and distributor cap. Please help.

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.
