Another Misfire/Loss of Power Thread

Well I didn't have any luck finding a fuel pressure kit that came with it's own T & valve (that would work with the metal line) but I did pop the fuel line out without bleeding it first, and there was definitely quite a bit of pressure in there! I've got no clue of exactly how much though...
On a brighter note, I took Timothy's idea and checked the throttle body as well. It had only been 8-10,000 miles or so since I cleaned it so it wasn't too bad. I did go ahead and pop it off and gave it a quick cleaning and the truck definitely runs a lot better than it was. Better throttle response, better power up hills, I even think it sounded better.
I'm not totally convinced that the truck is back to normal though. I don't know if it's just me or not but it still feels like it's missing a little power somewhere. It's on the market now though... so hopefully someone will take a chance on it!
