        I don't need them to fix it, I need one to tell me what's wrong.

            Why don't you explain the problem and let us guess at what's wrong

              Won't run on own till warmed up over 100 degrees. Has a miss and doesn't burn all the fuel. Swoops up and down during idle.

                Sounds like some of the students in my classes.

                  Sounds like it could be a crank position sensor or the cam position sensor. One of those went out on my wifes mercedes suv and we thought it was the ignition at first then the fuel pump. Ended up having to replaced a $50 sensor and having to get re-leared by a shop(Cam position sensor)

                  Wifes car would act like the battery was bad or if it had no fuel. after a while it would start.

                    Mine starts yes but it won't keep running without assistance until it warms up.

                      One thing that I thought of, if you have a bad map sensor that could hase your truck to act like it needs more fuel or lean out to the point that is stalls. With your truck being 17 years old I beleive it might not have this sensor on there since it prolly carbed.

                        Leave the battery unplugged over night and try to start it the following morning

                          Take it to any Autozone and they'll hook it up to their diagnostic machine for free.

                            Not sure if his truck is ODBII (data port). Might need a real mechanic to look at it.
