How do you know this? Did you check it with a gauge?
What do you mean by "cuts out"? Does is stall or just lack power so bad it won't pull itself?
No, you've got a MAP sensor and I doubt it's causing your problem.
Check the basics, get a spark tester and make sure you've got good spark at the plug, see if the computer has stored any codes, check fuel pressure with a gauge if you haven't already. Bob

Absolutely. Dang thing cost me $56. It measures at a rock solid 37 psi constantly without even the slightest hint of anything awry.
There is not much in the way of stalling. I will give an example. Last night I started the truck. Idled fine in the driveway. I depressed the brake, and shifted the truck into drive. Nothing happened, the truck slipped into gear. I let off the brake, the truck did not move (should have given an inch at least) and when I depressed the gas pedal, the engine stopped. It did not chug or anything -just halts. This is consistent.
One other thing to note, once the motor stalls like that, it will not crank again for at least 4 hours. Then it will start up with no problem, however, I still have the symptoms described above.
I will check spark, however, seems unlikely to me seeing as the motor idles with no miss or hiccups.
That brings up another question. I would normally take this thing to Autozone and have 'em scan the codes, but I can't get the truck there. Is there a way to read the codes myself without buying a crazy expensive tool to do so?
Thanks for the advice Bob. I greatly appreciate it.
