It will stay running as long as I stay on the gas. Has anyone else had this happen or have any idea on what would cause this?
I am assuming it is a 93+ by your post. Can you give us the vehicle specifics?
May be either fuel (Pump or filter) or timing issue.
How long since you did a tune up? Changed the filter in a while? Did you try and pull a code?

You can pull the code yourself. Using search (paper + Code) I found this post from Semlin on how to do it. Do the following and post back what 2 digit code you get.

1. get a metal paperclip or jumper wires
2. switch the o/d button on
2. go to the DTC output box on the fireall of the engine (small black plastic box with a pop up lid which may be labelled "DLC1". lift the lid. You should see two small grids of 3x3 contacts and the inside of the lid should have a label code. identify the E1 and TT contacts.
3. turn ignition on
4. go back to the DLC box and insert one end of the paper clip in the E1 hole and one end in the TT hole. BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT GUESS ON THIS. If you don't have ther label code I will post it up for you.
5. go back inside and watch the o/d light flash pattern.
if it blinks continually in 2 second intervals you no longer have a problem so just pull the 10 amp dome fuse to clear the code
6. otherwise count the flashes to get a 2 digit code. the flash sequences are sapareted by a 1.5 second pause. If there are 2 codes there will be a 2.5 second pause between each fresh code.
7. remove the paper clip. turn truck off.
8. post your codes hereand we will decipher.

Well?
If you ask the question, you must post the solution.
