The truck starts with no problem but then it starts to missfire and has no power as I try to drive it.I replaced the spark plugs and cables, but the problem did not go away.Just wondering if anybody had this problem before.

Engine misfiring can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel.
