Had the code read and said it was the egr sensor or valve..... And when im at stop and punch itll accelerate fine for a sec or two then it will drop my rpms down like it if it was shutting down for like a sec then run normal... <---- happens more when its at a 1/4 of a tank. Soo idk if its the egr or my fuel pump

I do not think it is the egr. I would suspect something in the fuel delivery system.

Have you changed the fuel filter. Be the cheapest place to start and cant hurt.

We need the actual Error code #. Could be the EGR, Position sensor or EGR Regulator.

You need to take pressure readings off the fuel rail. May not be pump related. Could be the Fuel Pressure regulator.
