Default Truck acting like its running out of gas...

So my truck 97 blazer 4x4 2 door, every once in a while starts acting like its running out of gas, today i just let it do it all the way to a gas station where i put gas in and it kept doing it after gas was added. Every time i came to a stop it would die on me but fire right back up. After about a block of the truck acting like it was running out of gas, i pulled over it died on me when i stopped so i put it in park and it would still act like it was starving for fuel and idle surging i let it sit for not even a min i fired it back up and it drove fine. This is the secound time this has happened to me.

Problems that the truck has that i know

Transmission has a small drip from somewhere (fluid was full i checked that immediately when it started) it doesn't slip or shift hard or weird so im thinking its just a hole in a line thats leaking slowly

Key doesnt want to turn at times i have to jiggle the crap out of it to get it to turn to the start possession from locked.

I need to figure this out since its my only car we have.

for starters is the check engine light on? if yes what are the codes? as for the key issue try another key, if that doesn't solve it it might be the cylinder . lastly check your lines for the tranny leak as it will only get worse.. But if you have any codes post them, sounds like a bad cat also should check your fuel pressure
