Might check the map sensor it will make it do strange things. Your local auto zone can check it to see if its bad if you take it off and take it into them.

i took it in to have them run the diagnostics,they said as long as i have no warning lights on it won't throw out any codes........they wouldnt even take the time to do it.

I'd try a different AutoZone, tell them some of the dash lights come on and off (true enough when you start it!) and get it checked. Also, you didn't mention that the plugs had been changed....how long have the plugs been in? Be interested to hear the solution.

The plugs have been changed dunno what it is, I think i have to break down and take it in don't want to but, I think it's only way to figure it out. I figure let someone else figure it out my brain hurts :-) thanks

I have the same problem with my truck, 3.9 w/ EFI. The lungeing comes and goes, but it's always loading up on gas, makin it stall, and it likes to stall when coming to a stop. Nobody's been able to help me, even the shops I took it to.
