make sure your intake isn't leaking between the AFM and throttle body. even a small leak can cause it to miss. plus the intake ducts are known for cracking. also check and make sure you are getting good voltage to your TPS and AFM.

yeah i have heard a few pepole with this problem but i will start with what i have done so far. i have played with the timing installed new distributor, tps, o2 sensor, new fuel pressure regulator, cold start injector, mass air flow and air temp sensors, engin harness and interior harness so i have done alot what should be my next step and what else can i do with the timing?

yes fuel pressure been checked
i took it to a shop and had it done and quite a few other things but for timing when i set it to factory it seems to re-time its self because it will idle smooth but be very gutless and a few hours later it will be idling at like 1500 rpm's if i advance it it will make a huge increase in power but will cut out and sputter and ping way more and if i retard the timing loss of power but run's a little better i find it very weird that it advance's its self i also installed a new fuel pump so i think i have the fuel system covered as far i know i really think its timing i just cant figure it out any more ideas?

you should just bump your old post next time. also, what vehicle/engine? check your timing, you may be off, or you may have skipped a tooth when installing the distributor. i'm not sure what year your truck is so i cant tell you timing spec, but search for timing or full service manual in the search bar. also, if you are running higher compression you might need to step up to better fuel. fouled spark plugs? maybe a worn plug wire arcing against the head?
