check your egr it might be going out on you and sometimes you can even get away with cleaning them just a little do not and i do mean do not run air through it will cause even more problems but thats what it sounds like to me and ya it couldbe a fuel pump too but it would act up worse then that i would think wouldnt have anypower at all!! the egr is pricely though at about 150 because it is electronic not vacum operated like the older ones hope this helps you out what it do jeff

okay nevermind it started again today. it happens when going up hill like it looses power and sputters out. its really weird does anyone know what it could be and how much and how hard it is to replace.
