Might try it out. Got a bottle of seafoam and only put it only in the gas tank. Might run it through the vaccum lines. My truck could use some as well.
Just sucks cause that stuff is like $10 bottle now.

It cleans everything out wonderfully actually.

Pour 1/2 - 3/4 of a bottle into a tupperware container, then slowly let the vacuum line draw it in until the engine bogs itself down and stalls out. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes then start it up and give it some gas.

My 8 year old truck (at the time I did the seafoam) spewed huge clouds for a solid 5 minutes. Drove it for another 20 miles to let the gunk fall into the oil then had an oilchange. Made a huge difference in fuel economy and engine response.

In response to your original question, mine did that for a time and it was actually a vacuum leak that was the problem. Replaced a hose and the problem went away. Constantly revving up and down, would stall if you took your foot off the pedal. Pain in the ass.
