Looking for some help
So when I start my truck it runs pretty rough... not the usual I'm a diesel and it's early in the morning rough, but the idle is all over. It'll be at standard idle then it'll drop 75-100 rpms then jump up 150 just to fall back to regular idle. It does this until it warms up a bit.
Then, I get it on the road and the SES comes on. Sometimes if I drive it for a while, it'll go off but there is not really any power loss. At stop lights it idles a little rough and if the SES is on sometimes it will surge... just once... a jump of 75-100 rpms and back and the SES will go off.
I'm thinking IDM, or the harness under the valve cover...

Sorry guys I got busy at work. All the mods that I have done are in my sig except the 4inch exhaust.
How quickly does the engine RPM romp up and down?
Well the scenario I described above would all happen in the space of 3-8 seconds.
How many miles on the engine oil and is it full? Air and fuel filters in good shape?
About 3k on the oil. Level is good. All filters replaced when I did the oil.
I live at 7100 feet, but I've been here forever. I took the truck on a 2000 mile round trip, and it ran perfectly. Two days after I got home, it started this stuff. And lets throw a new symptom in. Yesterday it died when I was pulling up to a stop light, just like it did a few times with a bad CPS. It started right up, no hesitation, no complaint.

Clogged filter / pick up screen "MIGHT" throw a SES light, but will most likely result in the truck falling flat on it's face when you try to accelerate for a while before the light trips.

Which CPS do you have? Is it possible that you got a bad one and it is going out again? My replacement went out after about 1000 miles (and 6 months time since I do not drive very much). I believe that a bad CPS will sometimes throw phantom codes, though. Just a thought.
