ok this is the up date on my promblems

I just did a lower intake gasket today
and put new injectors in
changed the plugs too

so far changed

o2
iac
tps
tested the egr - ok
cap
rotor
wires
turned waste gate down to stop over boost
top end cleaner
all intake seals
throttle body seals
pvc valves
compression test - ok

the stall when putting in gear is gone
the popping in the exhaust is there once in a while at idle
the top end is better but here alittle knock just before it shifts when getting on it

but it still has a rough idle, breacks up to 1500 rpm
even when driving

need help
any ideals? on what to do

the popping in my exhaust went away when i switched from cr42ts' to ngk ur6's along with cap and rotor and taylor wires. before i did that i had replaced all the parts within 3 months just at different times about a month apart. i just went through all this stuff you are last year when i first got the truck. so ya just RE-check ignition stuff and be sure to use dielectric grease in all your spark wire connections. you didnt mention if you checked the timing and the "TDC check". hth

edit- also i messed with the idle bleed adjustment on the TB help with shifting into gears (and not stalling). check your IAC counts and hoses again to rule out a vaccume leak. might want to check fuel pressure and volume while you're at it just so you know everything is where its supposed to be. this is what i had to do and i finially got it running great!

idle = vac lines most times

or try diff plugs again and diff gaps some like 25 most like 32 and some like up to 36

sometimes the wires on the rotor get stuck under the cap and cause the bad idle and miss at wot...check for kinks...
