Hello,

I will help you get the truck fixed, np but I need to ask, when the engine starts, do you have a check engine light on? If so we need to run the codes to see which ones are stored. Please what this video.

Next, it sounds like you have a vacuum leak or the throttle body need to be serviced. Please go over this guide as well and report back with you findings.

Please go over these guides and get back to us. Please upload a short video in your response of the problem, so I can see what's going on :) Ken
