minutes. After 30 minutes has
gone by every time I come to a
stop and waiting for the light to
change it either dies out or acts
like it's gonna shut off. When at a
stop i have to let the truck roll so it
won't shut off. I changed the fuel
filter but it didn't work. Help what

Sounds like the catalytic converter is getting clogged and needs to be replaced. Easy way to check is at night let vehicle idle 5-20 minutes then look under vehicle at exhaust system at converter if it starts to turn cherry red converter is clogged.
