Okay, Y'all, pray all are well. Saturday morning drove it to parts store and back. All good. She takes it to the store and the dang thing starts hesitating on complete stop take off. It is not the stuttering the transmission does, we have that too. I'm going to check vacuum lines and obvious stuff but it threw 4 codes. Attached are them. Which one if any would cause da problem if any?
As always, we appreciate Y'all, BobbyB

Okay, cool beans and thanks. Hey Ken L after replacing the fuel injection fuel regulator and clearing the codes. I did a test drive. Still acting up but only one code now. P0300. I am replacing the plugs and wires tomorrow. Will replace the 3 coil packs last if it doesn't get better. Will update you soon. Many Thank X my friend, BobbyB

Hey y'all, sorry for not replying. I still cannot believe it. The ultimate problem was the vacuum hose was broke off of the fuel module (I'm guessing) it goes from there to the fuel regulator. All is working great. Thanks so much.
