Default need help!!!!

my truck has kind the hard time starting sometimes but it turns over. but when i tap the gas hard it dies on me, but when i press gas slow it has little hesitation but rpm goes up. could this be fuel pump related problem?
i just change map sensor. and is still same.
its been doing it for about 2 weeks now i havent really drove truck a lot but this is driving me nuts. i check with my tuner and he think is not tuning because i had tuning over 3yrs with out n e problem and i dont think tune can change itself all of sudden.

fuel regulator or pump or fuel filter? if so how do i check it?

help guys!

You could hook up a fuel pressure gauge and check it.

On e of the service trucks at work was doing the same thing and after I did a fuel pump I figured out it was the fuel pressure regulator.

damn, all these problems and it was just bad plugs. Should have checked that first I guess since they're so cheap. Glad your up and running now!
