Well here I am again. My 02 is in the shop for a FPR and needed the 94 to tool around in. I've only put on around 1000 miles on the truck since buying the 02. Everytime I've needed it she's fired right up and ran great. This time, however, it was different. She fired up perfectly and I drove it up to the front of the house. After loading her up I went to start it up again she fired up and then died. It was a struggle to get it running again but she finally started. So I ran down and picked up a new air/fuel filters and installed them but it's still acting the same way. It'll start fine and then stall after about 30 sec. Then the fight is on to get it started again. After two or three major rounds of cranking she'll fire up and will run rough for a minute, then level out and idle fine. Going down the road I feel like I don't have the power to get out of my own way. Boost and temp gages are reading normal. Any thoughts?

Thanks
