tune up

So as of late my truck has been freaking me out. I've gotten real used to how it runs and sounds when its right and lately it ain't right. It stalled and died on the interstate Friday and since then it hasn't quite died but it runs rough at idle, at fast idle it is fine but once it kicks down, or I put it in gear it runs rough, sounds like its about to stall and vibrates different. I replaced the fuel filter, sprayed wd40 all over the vacuum lines and non seem to be sucking it in. A few are pretty janky so I am going to replace/reassemble them. Aside from that I got a new dizzy cap and rotor, new spark plugs and new spark plug wires to put on. I just don't know what to do past that if none of those solve it... help!

Thanks!

Re: tune up

Put the new stuff you bought for it on and see if it helps. If not, check the timming and fuel pressure.
