    I replaced the fuel filter back about 2 months ago and the fuel pressure regulator about a month ago. I have been reading all of the things that people have done before I put my post up here. Thanks for the suggestions I will take any more that you have.

    I have replaced the MAF I will have to try the other things that you have said. I also tried to replace the Idle Air Control Valve but when I did that my RPMs jumped up to about 3000 when it was idleing. So I adjusted the idle but could not get below 2500 RPMs.

    Yeah, get that code read, and chances are, it will lead you directly to the solution. Fuel Pressure Regulator (not to hard to change yourself), Fuel Filter (very easy to change yourself) or possibly even the EGR Valve (very easy to change yourself as well, although the symptoms point toward FPR imo)

    Sounds like exactly what mine was doing a couple years ago. I replaced the Idle Air Control and it fixed it right up.. Maybe you got a defective IAC when you replaced yours?
