runs rough, idles low and stalls
04 chevy k1500 4.9L 146k miles. got truck about 3 months ago and always ran good no problems. washed truck in wash rack at work and let sit 2 hrs and dry off. went to start it and leave started and stalled. ok its just wet... never done that before. ran bad , stalling and skipping down road even 2 days later. has new tune up and good wires and plugs. put dry gas in and injector cleaner. thought might have been bad gas . still stalls idles really low like 400 or 500 rpm and stalls out at stop lights or slowing down. checked it and has no codes . please help

Check you throttle body for carbon build-up. They should be cleaned periodically or they will cause your exact symptoms. Use throttle body cleaner and a rag (a toothbrush works well if it is really bad). Also if you want to be real thorough remove the throttle body and clean both sides. I think you meant 4.8 liter right?
