1996 5.7 starting, running and idle problems

truck running fine. Filled up with gas would not restart at the fuel station. finally started. drove on highway, bucked two times. drive off to two lane engine settled ran fine. got to destination, parked. returned would not start. researched where I could and replaced the fuel pump relay. Now engine starts but throttle surges and is running rich. not drivable at this point. ideas?

Of course my first thought is that you got bad gas . It happens more than a lot of folks realize .

Also , just an FYI , this forum is exclusively dedicated to 1982-1992 Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird only . If the mods delete this thread , that will be the reason ....
