So here goes...
4 days ago the vp44 died i got the p0216 code truck was running like crap did some reading on here and went ahead and swapped it out for a reman and then the problems began
i now have dead pedal mostly when truck is cold as it warms up it goes away completely
what ive done so far to rectify it
all fuel lines tight
airdog is 18 psi idle 16 psi wot
took all grounds off the truck cleaned and reinstalled
checked batteries and connections all good
unhooked batteries and reset apps
set edge to look at throttle % its fine/accurate it doesnt stop or hang even when dead pedal occurs SO i guess that apps is fine

Sounds like you got a bad reman pump. Here is a link with a section about dead pedal and some tests you can do VP44 Diagnostic
