If you have white smoke coming out the exhaust,you may need to do a compression check on the engine,most likley the head is bad,or head gasket you replaced did not seat.

Thank you I appreciate your time to help I'll definitely check it out but is there anything else that you think it could be because other times she'll start and run with out smoke but then out of nowhere when she hits a low idle like at a stop light or we have to use the 2 foot method to keep her running or she'll just die and well that's why we are confused

This sounds exactly like a temp sensor gone totally bad. The ECM thinks it's 0 degrees out and dumps fuel to it.

I've also seen the AIC (Air Idle Control, right behind the TPS on the throttle body) cause similar issues.

I need help bad. My truck us a Chevy 1500 1995 and if I drive about 30 miles or so and hit a red light and go to hit the gas. I'll have the peddle to the floor and it will start off slow then out of no where kick in and speed up. And if I'm going down the high way and the cruise control is on and I'm going up a hill it will do that. Throttle slow then kick in and speed up. Also when I go to slow down pulling in some where the truck sounds like its about to shut off then comes back to normal. What wrong with it? 11 Answers

Ppl say it is my throttle body or my filter on my fuel pump or its I have no back pressure and my o2 senser is messed up since its straight pipe no cat converter. What is it.
