When I let off of the gas it shuts off, but idles fine goes down the road fine. Idles a little rough. Changed fuel pump and checked injectors. What else could it be?

Good morning.

It could be the EGR valve not closing quick enough. The valve has to shut when you let off the gas. If it is gummed up it will take too much time to close and will shut the engine off from a large vacuum leak.

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
