Default intermediate "stalling" when accelerating

I have a 2.3 with over 300,000 miles on it and have not had any major problems with it until today. When accelerating the engine will cut out and as if there is an ignition problem or a fuel delivery issue. It only cuts out for maybe a second or two then continues running like normal. I wanted some input before i start tearing my truck apart.

Default Re: intermediate "stalling" when accelerating

First thing I'd check would be ohming out the plug wires. If you check end-to-end, using a VOM, you should get resistance, but if you get the 'infinite' or 'overload' readings, the 'wires' have gaps that must be jumped in addition to the gap of the plug itself. It can cause intermittent misfire. Second would be the MAF cleanliness, third would be fuel delivered volume & pressure.
