My truck does not seem to be getting enough gas at times. You have to pump the pedal to get it to run. I changed filters. The code reader suggeste egr valve which I also changed. Could the fuel pump be giving me problems. It does not do this all the time.

Hello lgreg

Worn and weak fuel pump, obstructed fuel line, low voltage at the pump can also prevent it from running fast enough to generate adequate fuel flow. The pump's supply voltage should be within half a volt of normal system voltage.
