Default odd issue

Sorry of it has been discussed before but I did search and couldn't find an issue just like mine, I have a rough idle after I start it warmed up, and occasional stall, more frequently with the hotter weather we are getting in Iowa, but if I rev the s**t out Of it it sometimes come out of it, what could this possibly be? It also.seems to.be a bit doggy when cruising around. If that helps lol

Check fuel pressure(s)? Did you recently do any changes to your distributor such as timing? Might also need a TPS test or clean/replace IAC

There can be lots of contributing factors, just gotta do some testing and process of elimination.

Mine was so full of crap the gas that came out looked like black coffee, my original filter was stainless steel, the fram I replaced it with was galvanized? And now its scary rusty, like the rest of my truck.

Check for vacuum leaks? Id check your timing, wires and such, or maybe your alternator isn't putting out enough juice.

I haven't messed with any of that stuff as previously stated, and it didn't do it last week. It has newer wires on it when I bought it thinkin bout changing the plugs and seeing where that gets me
