How many miles you have on it? I would doubt it is the injectors.

You must be just across the river from me. I have family up at the top of the *****.
Sorry for the slow response. We're on vacation in Florida right now. There's only 57k on the truck right now. And if you're in Louisville then I'm right across the river in New Albany. I actually grew up in the ***** and my parents still live there so that's my old stomping grounds.

Seems like a lot of people think the throttle body may be to blame. I'll get it off there and give it a good cleaning and see if that helps. It doesn't sound like everyone agrees on how to calibrate it though.

I'm in the PRP area off of Dixie Hwy. You know any of the Fritz family?

Good luck. Sounds like maybe the TB is dirty and the blade is possibly sticking closed after decelleration.
