Horrible Stuttering

I filled up the tank today and as soon as I started the engine it was stuttering and ran with very little to no power. So I stopped down the road, turned the truck off for a couple minutes and it ran fine for about a mile then started stuttering again. I stopped at a gas station, changed the fuel filter and siphoned out the gas, put in new gas and its still stuttering. Here's the weird part, when the truck's stuttering, it idles around 500 rpm, but if I turn on the lights and blast the system it idles around 2000. First I thought it was a gas problem, but now it sounds like an electrical problem. Any and all suggestions would be helpful thanks

Vacuum leak or Ignition i'd guess.

maybe a wire got burned. mine as well do a cap/rotor, wires, and plugs.

Re: Horrible Stuttering

ok well this is what else i have noticed. now the truck runs with out issue. had the fuel filter changed. still stuttered. then i noticed metal coming out my exhaust. brass power metal. NOT GOOD

. so figured it was turbo or cat conv isue. took the cat off and found the same brass cought in the cat. hallowed out the cat put it back on and am going with a turbo bushing which is brass. took off the turbo to intercooler hose and no brass on that end, so i hope it was the bushing on the exhaust side and didnt enter the engine. so the truck will sit till i get my new turbo, i need a new turbo anyway. its been messed up for a while. so thats the update.
