You need to get it on a scanner, You want to know what kind of condition the HPOP is in as well as injectors..

You could. But Before you start throwing parts at it. Diagnose the problem...

If you still have stock fuel system then of course it will fall on its face up until 2500 when that poor mechanical pump is giving its all. I would also change fuel filter.

I change mine with every service and this sounds to me more like a fuel problem then hpop.
