My truck has been running fine for the longest time, until last night. Rough idle, give it gas and the idle/rpm are all over the place, and stalls if no gas applied. Haven't done any work to the truck other than tune-up stuff and that was weeks ago.
As of today, the fuel filter has been changed - no luck. Plugs, cap and rotor look good. Vacuum lines all look fine. PCV valve is in working order.
I don't feel comfident in my abilities to work on the carb, but am open to any suggestions.

clean the carb with some carb cleaner.
