Ok my father truck been having problems after he runs it for while. truck runs great when freash but after running for few hrs. starts to sputter out almost like running out of gas. its mainly happpens when you stop then try to go. its manual so let off clucth apply gas and dosent want to go so i hold clutch in and pump gas to try rev. engine up to get enough power to go. after being able to pick up speed seems to go ok till i stop again. after strugiling to get truck back home its strugging to stay on, So leave it there for day or so and go to turn it on starts to run like nothing wrong. but after running for while starts up again. any suggestion what i might start with or tell me what it is. Thanks
Run the fault codes and check for an EVAP venting problem
could be the valve or the solenoid to control the valve
indicates that the fuel pump is having trouble pulling fuel against th vacuum in the tank from a vent problem

Just a little suggestion. IF this is a 1993 it is fuel injected.the car starts and runs for a few seconds and then dies. You are on the right track by checking the spark and fuel delivery. If you have both of these when it dies i would check injector pulse. the use of a noid light would be the quickes method.They can be purched at the parts house for pretty cheep.If you have no injector pulse then it cuts the fuel off to the engine.Replace the ignition module (contols spark and injector pulse) i have ran across a few that will lose only one of the outputs, insted of both of them. Now if you have fuel and fire, i would check to see if the cat. converter is damaged or cloged thus restricting the exhaust and stalling the engine. Hope this helpes.

after you replaced the fuel pump did you replace the fuel filter also check out the EGR valve and all vacuum lines especially the one behind the throttle body

has the fuel filter been replaced? this sounds like a plugged fuel filter.
