Well a lean condition would certainly act like a clogged gas sock or failed
fuel pump. Turn the key to start without turning it all the way to start
and see if you hear the fuel pump coming on for a few seconds.

Subject: DML: Running Problem
While I was driving normally the truck decided to bog down on me. The
fastest I could go was about 30 MPH for a couple minuets, slowed down to 20
MPH after another 2 minuets and finally cut off completely and I coasted
into my driveway (talk about great timing). If I tried giving it more gas
to go faster it would try to die. It kind of acted like a badly clogged
fuel filter. Before this was happening I was driving around with the Engine
light on. I can't remember the exact code ('96 OBDII) and now it's not
there but it had something to do with a lean condition. Is that usually O2
sensor related? Could a completely failed sensor cause it to act like this?
I had to move it this morning to get ol reliable (much more fun) blue out
(Mr. June DML Calendar) and it revved up fine but I didn't have time to take
it for a drive...
Any ideas?
Thanks,
James
