Sounds like a possible vapor lock situation, try hooking up a fuel pressure gauge and monitor the fuel pressure. How many miles on vehicle??? ANy codes??

There is 134,520 miles on truck i will have to do that see if that is what causing it and the only code is for my iac idle air control valve that i have replaced twice now and i have check wires going to it there fine the only other way that code comes up is if there is a vacuum leak

Have you disconnected the battery cable to reset the computor after installing IAC???

Have you tried a smoke test for vacuum leak?
