Try unplugging the ICP sensor and see what it does.

Check your fuel pressure on the schrader valve on the fuel bowl with an old tire gauge as well.

Check the tin nut on the IPR as well.

well unpluged those no change.pressure is 60 @idel.could the throttle pedal cause anything like this?off idel its not as bad and pedal seems to be more sensitive than it has been.unpluges 3 of the 4 plugs on valve cover all 3 had the same effect on the idel.going to the zone to see if they can get the codes that setting the CEL.if not theres a guy with a snapon scanner i'll try and catch later on. after getting this truck and pulling with it yesterday and was really getting to like it more and then this happened

thanks man

zone said no codes(this as the trucks running with check eng light on)
buddy with snapon scanner got 6 codes
1 was when i run it wide open and oil level got low in high pressure pump
the rest were showing fuel pressure but it did'nt say high or low.
it just showed volts and it was 3.75 i think he told me. now i did the bb thing 10 days ago would that have anything to do with it?

Did you check the oil in the c case ?

Did you unplug the ICP sensor ?

Look for oil leaking from the sensor.

Did you check the tin nut on the IPR?

HPOP rez is on the front. follow it down on the drivers side, you'll see a tin nut. Just see if it is loose

if its loose, you'll have all sorts of weird issues.
