...CEL code.? I replaced fuel filter, catalytic converters, EGR valve. Whenever I give it gas it studders and loses power. I believe it's fuel related. At times when I start it up it won't start the first time. But if it doesn't start the first time it usually starts up the second time fine. When I replaced the fuel filter it ran fine with no problems for a entire day then the next day it ran bad again. Whenever I give it gas it bucks and loses power. The same thing happened when I ran out of gas completely. It ran fine for a entire day then started acting up again.

I tested the fuel pressure and I was getting 29psi . AllData says it should be at 30psi so its not too bad.

Im thinking it could be the fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator. What do you guys think? Anything else you guys suggest?
