Running Rough and stubles off ide

I have a XL120XLS GM 6 cyl that is in good shape, but I've been having problems with it the last 6 months. I can get it to start but sometime it idles rough and sometime it doesn't and idles OK, but the kicker is that if I give it gas it stumbles and wants to die, Sometimes I can get it to clear up and rev it a bit and sometimes that works. However I can let it kind of idle awhile until it gets warmer and somtimes that helps. I have change tanks, rebuilt the fuel lock and the vaporizer and it pretty much runs the same. , If it dies and I leave the key on it will backfire when I try to start it again. It is driving me crazy, any help??

Dan first thing l would try is to start with a major tune up change the plugs cap roter and wires also l would check the coil if your able and don't leave the key on with out the truck running that will burn up the coil. See if that helps.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
