My truck started missing while driving home, eventually not responding to the accelerator and finally turning off as I pulled into a parking lot. Will occasionally crank, but will only idle for about 30 seconds before dying. Any increase in throttle kills the engine. I have changed the fuel filter, plugs & wires, throttle position sensor, cleaned throttle body, changed the MAF sensor. OBD codes P0102, P0332, P0452 are what came up on my code reader.

The first thing you want to check is the fuel pressure. This is a high pressure system that won't even run if the pressure drops below 55PSI.
Fuel pumps are the #1 cause of "no starts" in that vehicle.
