2.8 V6,
when i apply presure to excelerate it kinda fills like the truck is running out of gas and when i release my foot it just stalls out. i just bought the truck for 750$ and was trying to flip it for a small profit so i am not trying to put too much excess $$ into the truck. Im hoping its an easy fix???

have fuel pressure checked as well as the cat converter back pressure.

i believe it is carb. it is computer controlled and may need an overhaul
