Default truck dies - need help

I have a 95 with the 5.0L. It started dying while driving when I would come to stops. Then it started dying while I was just slowing down. Sometimes it starts right back up. Other times I have to floor it and rev the crap out of it, and sometimes repeat the whole process, before it acts right. It also stumbles on acceleration right after this problem started. The problem seems worse now after the truck sits a while, but that could be coincidence.

I replaced the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filer, and idle air motor. Seems to run better but the problem remains.

Anyone have ideas? I read a couple previous links but they didn't seem to narrow the problem down exactly.

I'd have your ECM checked.

What have you got for error codes? Maybe it's the TPS or EGR valve?
