Well ok, then can someone answer this question. When I start my truck, it acts like it is going to die. This lasts for a couple mins then it is fine, but during this time it puts ans shakes. What could cause this problem?

Does it take longer than normal to start (cranks a while before starting) if so it could be a fuel pummp, a buddy of mine had this problem did everything that he thought would cause this problem and someone told him to check his fuel pump. he put a pressure tester on it and when he turned the car off the pressure went down a little like normal (a working fuel pump should hold about 7 psi over night) "about". but overnight his leaked down to 1-2 psi so the pump didn't have enough "fuel on demand"

this may not be the problem but it's an idea, Good luck

I had a similar problem after my motor backfired through thein take and melted the Iat sensor. It could be reading the wrong resistance and given you a bad mixture. Does it act like a carb motor when it is cold? If so thats what mine did and I replaced theiat sensor and it was back to normal.
