All spark plugs are new so are the wires. There all connected and nothing is loose plugs and wire wise. It doesn't skip bad at idle but apon acceleration it miss fires or skips pretty bad, my girlfriend drives the truck and she said it started kind of out of no where,

I put heat in it but it didn't help cause I thought it has water in the gas.

i found that after the truck gets to op temp and you drive it for a few miles it does just fine, but after you turn it off and it cools down and you start it back up it runs like crap til it get back to op temp.

tps? temp sensor? cam positioning sensor?

Any ideas? Thanks

if they were plugged why would it run fine after you drive it for a few miles?
