That is an engine miss. When is the last time the truck had a tune up? Have you checked the plenum? (see stickied thread at top of this forum for more info on that) Any work been done to it lately?

Yes it has just put all new spark plugs plug wires distributor cap and button pickup coil and plenum kit and I replaced almost every sensor from the intake up but one and it tested good all the injectors tested good all the wiring tested good from the injector to the ecm and when a led test light is put in the injector connectors it flashes indicating the ecm is sending it’s signal to open and close the injectors i’ve spent four months going threw all this

You may think in crazy but your new plug wires could be bad. One or a few. Another member had the same problem

Oh come on, new parts are never bad, right out of the box. (yes they are.)

I would test the wires, route them per the TSB in the faq section here, verify firing order as well. Might consider doing a compression test, or power-balance test..... see which cylinders are doing what.

Spark plug gap is correct and plug wires are all good
all cylinders had good compression and no push rods are bent and no valve springs are broke and no vacumme leaks

​​​​​​ Test sorry for each cylinder should be blue and if that tests good I would say it's injectors
