Default rough idle
im back folks getting kinda tired of putting the website into my browser... oh well. I got a loss of power again on the throttle, this time it is severly affecting my idle and it has no warnings. makes it sound like a lope tune has been applied. im thinking fuel pump/filter but I wanted a sanity check from someone much more experienced than myself before I blow 250 buck on a pump assembly. thanks

Might help if you would add details about the vehicle in question. Year, engine, transmission, etc.....

97 means no test port for fuel pressure....

Any pattern to the behavior?

None that’s noticeable other than it will start fine and drive fine for a couple minutes then I get a loss on the throttle and a rough idle

Replace the oxygen sensor. The PCM ignores it till it warms up, takes a couple minutes..... NTK or Denso only please. Skip the bosch sensors, our trucks don't like 'em.

whichever one autozone hands out might be a bosch I also ran injector cleaner and seafoam through on half a tank had no effect other than some smoke also found out that if I sit on the throttle lightly it will putter then slowly drop in RPM till it stalls out takes about 90 seconds. local thought is either water in the coil pack (if this truck has one) from Florence or clogged injectors.
again thanks to everyone for the help
