Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be glad to assist you with this running problem. If you could be more descriptive about the problem you are having it would help me greatly. When you say the vehicle lurches, exactly what to do mean? Is it running rough, like some of the cylinders are not firing, or does the entire truck shake violently when it is running?

It will idle like it wants more fuel or something the truck would rock to side a bit not missing though. ive changed the plugs and wires, pcv valve, Map sensor have 2 new tanks with the same fuel pumps maybe it's weak? Changed the coil, fuel filter it did improve some then. tonight changed the in line fuel pump in the frame rail. This improved it again I thought it was fixed but still doing it a little. Im thinking maybe egr valve is sooted up or maybe the fuel pressure regulator?

Have you checked the actual fuel pump pressure? That will tell you if the pump is working properly.
Still not sure what you need?
