As soon as it started (from cold). idled erratic(1200 to 2000 rpm's) and if you accelerate it tries to die. Then it would accelerate with out dieing. Then stopped running and won't start.This all happened in 5 min.
I've had the computer replaced and it's run great for 6 mo. don't think it's an ignition problem. I take immaculate care of this truck. HELP!!!

Need to go to the basics, checking fuel pressure, see if there is spark getting to the plugs and or checking compression/timing.

A little starting fluid may help to eliminate or confirm fuel presence and spark presence if it starts and runs for a moment.
