Does it run rough when you accelerate? When you step on the gas pedal all you are doing is bringing up the idle, and it its smooth then you have a EGR problem if it is open at idle the vehicle is rough. Run the vehicle with a little pressure on the gas pedal. Do this for about 3 minutes, turn off the vehicle go to the EGR and feel it. If its too hot to touch its open and a new one is the solution

Try cleaning the throttleplate with choke cleaner on both sides and then scan for codes and recheck fuelpressure as type of pum may be a crappy one and failed once more. Alot of us have had trouble with airtex brand
