Truck runs like crap. Acts like it isnt getting enough fuel to throttle body. Engine only has 14.000 miles on it. Have replaced fuel pump, ignition module, has a fairly new throttle body, just replaced TPS & MAP & EGR
fuel filter was changed when pump was, ( bout 6 months ago)
It will drive down road & act fine for a little bit, then it loses power, but sometime you can stomp the gas 7 it acts fine again for a little while. Has me stumped. We pulled the codes on it, showed 44 ( lean mixture on O2 sensor) Only thing I havent changed is the EGR solenoid & idle air. Any suggestions?
Do you

Found the problem. Injector on left side, facing engine in throttle body was not spraying. Wiggled it & it started spraying again, going to go get a new connector, as think that one has a short in it
