Hi,this morning i ran to the store and while in idle and shut off.i crank it up with no problems and i went home.i had to leave again and while letting it warm up again a bit i was running the back windshield wiper and pushing the fluid button but it was dry so i stopped and the truck cut off again.i cranked it up with no problems again.i know it could use that emissions thing/valve but im not sure what would cause this and im worried it may get worse.i always use bp gas but i think the other day i had put some cheap gas in due to lack of money.does anyone have any ideas to what may be causing this?thanks.

If you never have replaced the fuel filter, start with that and hope its not the fuel pump going bad. If your lucky, its just the wire harness to the fuel sending unit that needs to be replaced or the ground wire needs to be re grounded.

If your really lucky, then its just a dirty fuel filter that is causing you your issue.

Good luck and keep us posted and remember, start with replacing the fuel filter before you can not restart it.
