Check the fuel pressure/idle air control valve/throttle position sensor to include the PCV and EGR valves.

with it not throwing any codes could this still be a problem or could it be something like a fuel pump or filter issue?

The only way to tell if its the fuel filter or the fuel pump is to check the fuel pressure. Check the IACV and TPS/MAF sensors.
