Clean the whole throttle body... And look under the truck by the spare tire. If you see a box with a wire going to it it's your FPMD.... These are known to rot right out and cause tons of drivability issues... If it looks heavily corroded then swap that out ASAP.

Like said clean the TB first and maybe change fuel filter and try some injector cleaner/dry gas in it before you spend anymore on it
