Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) dead spot in the throttle

When I accelerate hard once and a while the truck will seem to have nothing then it will come right back. Doesn;t do it all the time and it seems to be in the same rpm range when it does happen. Any ideas... No codes thrown yet. Praying it isn't my Injector pump.

Whats your fuel pressure look like How many miles on your engine and are you on your original VP and LP

Unfortunately that is one thing I have not had the chance to install. Guess i will be doing that sooner than planned

Well I didn't have a chance to get my hands on a fuel pressure guage... but I did buy a LP that I had planned on putting in last weekend. Did it and haven't had a problem all day. Only took about 15 minutes to change out. Not as bad as I thought. Thanks for the insight. I do think it was the original pump and the truck has 117500k on it. Again thanks

If it is stock, you might consider running some additive for the pump once in awhile and adding a fuel cooler to protect the VP.
