Has it had a recent set of plugs, has the TB ever been off and cleaned. You may also need to calibrate the throttle sensor----its attached to the gas pedal on these.

If you look in the DIY section above, find Weedahoe's FSM post. You can download this for free------its the bible about your truck, and you'll understand how to approach each repair correctly-----for instance, use non chlorinated brake cleaner to clean the TB------not carb cleaner or berrymans---it'll fry the TB

Some ideas and places to look
