I found that second fuel pump yesterday, and it sounds like it works just fine, but thats just from listening to it. Been doing research like crazy. I need to get this truck running by this weekend. I read that it could have something to do with the DFR and the filter or O rings in that, so im going to check that today. If that doesnt help I will be disconnecting the exhaust pipes to check if it is a plugged cat. Hoping it will be one of those. One last thing I heard could be the problem is a kick back cable. but i dont thing the efi models have one, but i will be looking.

I know that wasnt the right cleaner for it but it seamed to work fine. great fuel flow after i cleaned the filter and dumped more gas in the tank because it had about a half gallon yesterday when i was messing with it. no more hesitation on inclines and it accelerates like any other! only one problem now....it still has a low idle if it doesnt die after you pull your foot off the gas. and so far it dies when it should just idle. any ideas now?

Check your idle air control valve on the side of your throttle body. It maybe carboned up and well as your throttle body. Get some throttle body cleaner from the parts store. Open up the butterfly and spray some cleaner around the opening. Take a old toothbrush and scrub around, cleaning the carbon off. Then clean the ports of the IAC motor. Hope that helps.

going to the auto parts store today to pick up a new filter, the one from the pictures, and some TB cleaner. Now just to make sure....the IAC motor is off the side of the TB? with a few wires coming from it, and cylinder shaped?

Replaced the filter I cleaned along with the in-line filter that is just up stream of the high pressure fuel pump. Tore apart the metal housing on that second filter to see how dirty the filter was and it didnt look too bad at all. Nothing compared to the one in the pictures. Checked the timing and its on spot. Going to go for a longer ride tomorrow in it to see how it does with these new filters.

Start with getting your CEL codes pulled at autozone, but try using the "Search" option at the top of the page to find related threads to your problem. You probably won't get much help by hijacking this thread
