+1 on dropping the tank and cleaning it out, change filter, and flsuh crud out of lines before fuel rail. A bottle of injector cleaner couoldn't hurt either.
ok so i got some money to fix my truck i put a fuel pump in and a crank sensor in, and it still did it so i let it sit for 3 weeks then i went to sell it and i drove 15 miles to meet the guy didnt skip a beet i told him what it was doing and i told him i have no clue why it isnt acting up so then i drove it for 4 days and it is starting to do it again, now when i replaced the fuel pump i looked in the tank and it looked like there where some globs the size of quarters of black stuff floating in there i didnt think they would do anything just a note, so now im not sure what to do,the check engine light came on but i didnt notice a miss or studder and i went to autozone so they could run the codes, missfire on every cylinder and catalyst efficiency code, i seafoamed it today and bought a new battery but i drove it a couple times before i noticed it missin and jumping again so
I would be looking at the 02 sensors. I don't see what else could cause the catalyst inefficiency code, other than the catalytic converter (or lack of one, whatever your situation is). Cleaning the tank out won't hurt anything or cost anything, but if that and some fuel treatment doesn't fix it, might look at 02 sensors. I'm assuming the plenum is good.
i got one new 02 sensor a couple months ago, i put injector cleaner and seafoamed it, i still have my cat. but i think the previous owner gutted it by banging on it cause it is dented a bit, i havnt cleaned the tank out yet bc my buddy barrowed my truck and put 60 bucks in it so ill have to wait till im near empty

Disconnect the fuel line down by the fuel pump(no special tool needed) , then disconnect it up at the fuel rail(special tool needed), then use comp air to blow the line out.
