my truck starts but the engine dies if you dont keep stepping on the gas pedal

 

need more info.... is this when its cold or hot? or all the time? whats timing set to and how are your vacuum lines? how long has it been doing this or did it just happen....

 

yea deff need more info and start checking wires/fuses altenator ect.

 

Maybe a bad leak at your intake.

 

Its kinda cold in the morning here in hawaii..It happened 4 days ago,I was heading for work and I made a stop at a gas station 1/4 mile away from my house..I got out the station hop into my truck and it did start but after a couple seconds the engine just shuts off.. and thats how its been the next couple days..

 

if you were really low on fuel right before this started acting up, I would say replace the fuel filter first as you may have sucked some sediment up into the filter. By 22r you do mean carbureted right? If so the fuel filter is relatively easy to change and pretty cheap. If you don't know where it is located, it's on the passenger side on the frame rail somewhat between the gas tank and cab of the truck, kinda tucked up into the bed side.

 

Yeah..I have a weber carb...I changed the spark plugs and the wires..I tried to start it but the engine shakes real bad..

 

I agree. If you were low on fuel, this could have clogged your fuel filter. i would also check all vacuum lines to make sure one did not work its way loose or tear.

 

I fixed the first problem..but my engine was misfiring so I changed the spark plugs and the wires but it made it worst
