Truck dies at stop lights ??

I have an 06 scab with the 4.6 and all of a sudden It idles a little rough and sometimes dies when stopped. Any suggestions?

Add some fuel system cleaner to your gas tank. BG is the best but is pricey. Berryman's Chemtool B-12 is quite good and is reasonably priced about $3 at Wally World. It'll clean those injectors pretty good.

Mine did this a couple weeks ago, ended up being the MAF sensor. I cleaned it real good and it hasn't done it since.

I was puttin new spark plugs in just now and noticed that the clip on the airbox popped off and it was half open so I closed it and clamped it and so far it seems to be better. Hope that was all that was wrong.
