leaking rubber fuel lines....... I replaced the lift pump and overflow valve because my truck was idleing rough and running a little rough. After new lift pump, overflow valve and 80 HP injectors I still had the rough idle.

I moved my rubber fuel lines around and checked the hose clamps for tightness. After moving the fuel lines my truck had a really hard time starting. I bet after I replace the rubber lines my truck will stop having hard starts or a miss at idle....

Update , the fuel tank was low and it hasn't done it since I filled up the last 3 times it sat .
Seems to be a problum with the pickup in the tank .
Also the millage went down about 1- 1 1/2 mpgs.
