Engine strats very good. But on idle, engine has power loss and wants to shut down.

You may not be getting the proper fuel pressure necessary for normal running. The fuel pump and filter could be old, they were not made to last as long as you think, sorry, but I would test for fuel pressure and stored failure codes from your powertrain control module. OK there is good information about testing fuel pressure under the 'site menu'. OK try testing for fuel starvation as it was called. It really means quite a bit for a high pressure injection system to have any loss of pressure. If it was already replaced and a fuel filter also it may be exhaust or valve timing. The scanner helps to give a technician a place to start powertrain diagnostics.
