Try to start the truck without spraying your intake, then pull the number 1 and 2 plug and see if they are wet or just damp. If they are just DAMP, Your issue could be a fuel injection system clog, or you have some bad injectors, resulting in a need to clean the spiders injectors under the air intake plenum.
Cheap fix, run a tank of High Grade Octane Fuel with a can of your favorite injector cleaner. (recommned Seafoam, or STP) Then let us know.
We could use a little more information about the condition of the issue.
Rough Idle
Stalling after starting
Bogging down during exceleration.
Lower fuel ecomomy
Is or has the Check Engine Light come on.
Any OBD2 Codes present from the computer (most auto parts store can do this scan at no cost to you.)
If you can supply answers to the above question, the other user and myself can better help you.
