Exclamation Need some help with my fuel system.

The pump is running, after letting it sit for a while I can go and crank it. It stalls out shortley after cranking, and idles at a high RPM. When it tries to slow down it stalls, almost like the accelerator is sticking. Just replaced the fuel pump less then a month ago. Can hear it working fine for the prime. Filter is clean. I'm clueless.

Welcome to the site,

You'll find a technical chat on the main page, check my signature for a link to the DIY's. There's fuel system testing procedures in there. And if you can't find your answer feel free to post in the Tech. section. You'll find a wealth of knowledge around here as I and many others have.

Codes = Stored trouble codes pending in the engine computer. Some autoparts stores can check them for free.
