I would clean the throttle body, and IAC first. That is free. If that doesn't fix it, watch down the TB while cranking, and see if the IAC moves in or out..... if it doesn't, replace it. If it does, replace TPS.

Nope. PCM doesn't care about the pump, or fuel pressure.

+1 on the free stuff first.
You can test the TPS with a multimeter, Haynes has the procedure in it.
I would be thinking it was a wonky IAC if it were my truck doing that.

i had a high (and surging) idle when cold. i replaced the IAC a couple of times with no improvement. i replaced the TPS and it fixed the problem. I had no codes.
