Default My 91 D150, is givin me a-fit.

I bought this truck a year ago, it has 100,000+ miles. And it starts/runs fine usually. Now, as I'm drivin down the road, it just dies for a second or two and then takes back off. Sometimes it'll run just, fine? It also acts like it's losing power (bad plug/wires?)

the only thing I've changed, other than oil/filter is, the fuel filter.

I'm not educated at all with fuel injection/computers so bare with me.. I was almost convinced, it's the fuel pump. Until I talked to the guy at the auto parts. He said maybe it was the fuel pump relay? And it was only 15 bucks instead of 200+ for the fuel pump.
And after doing alittle research on the computer. I found that there's another relay/pick-up? under the distributor cap, that the computer has to read its signal or it shuts the fuel off intermittenly, which is the way it kinda acts.

I haven't bought any of these, yet. Try'n to gather more info. Any help is very much apperciated!
