Irritating problem

Recently when i go out to start my truck, it starts up just fine, then will run for various lengths of time (Ten seconds to a full minute) then just die, like it runs itself out of gas.. Eventually it comes out of it and runs properly until i shut the truck off and let it sit. any ideas? anything appreciated.!!

Hmmm. I'm not too sure. The first thing you might try is to check the codes and see if anything pops up. Does the check engine light come on at all?

My first thought would be fuel filter. And that's something that it never hurts to change of you don't know when it was done last

The engine light comes on yes, but it is not on all the time, the harder on the throttle I am, the less it is on. And just recently chnaged the filter. And still does it.. would it be possible a fuel pump relay or such?

Pulled the codes just a little bit ago, got 11- system pass, 12- idle control, 14-engine rpm signal fault or PIP circuit failure, 13- DC motor did not move, 31-EGR position sensor below minimum voltage, 41 oxygen sensor saying saying lean.. codes i got i got from the internet, so i am uncertain on if they are accurate or not. any confirmation on if they are or not would be much appreciated.
