Ok so afther looking and searching at a few posts, i have found i have similar problems to others, yet they had something wrong with their vaccume lines that they fixed
let me explaine the problem, recently i have poor poor accertaion to like 20 mph(i use to be able to kick up sand, now theres almost no chance) then resumes normal acceration, now i sat in the truck in netural, reved the engine, it had trouble in the frist few thousand rpms, but at about 2-3k it seem to rev up normaly. this has been something for a little while always been the same thing, i just though hey its old they do this, but now i think its something
and from what ive read its something to do with vaccume lines or the distributer, can some one get a good pic of the vaccume lines and what would be wrong?(i have serched the fourm for these pics but no luck, at least from my end)\
or any suggestions?
i keep getting a ses light the code deffination is basicly maf/ckt(something like that) and theres two of them, ones "soild" and its the same error twice but the second one is "pending"
also afther a while this has only happened tiwce it feels like its lost all power, i have to go to full throatle to get the speedometer to barely even move, this is from 0-65mph(couldnt go any faster) the second time it did it it was around 32mph and i slamed the gas(rig was comming up behind me) but the rpms started to go DOWN WTF
its almost like its bogging down, dont always do it, now im searching the fourm i came accros one that said it could be the fuel filter?

VAcuum diagram unfortunately is unique to the vehicle/model year in most cases. There should be a sticker under the hood for your vacuum hose route.
If your tripping the MAF, look at your main air intake system. Could be your getting false air, air into the intake that the MAF isn't measuring, this would lead to all sorts of proplems like you discribe.
