my truck starts but runs rough like bad fuel pump

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. When I first got the truck I put in another fuel pump because it wouldn't even start unless I used starting fluid. But the pump I installed was use and did the same thing . So I just put in a brand new aeromotive 340 and now it starts on but runs rough unfilled warm then it idle's fine but still seams like its not getting fuel. Anyone have any problems from the aeromotive 340? Could it be the oil pressure sending unit? Need help ASAP thank you ;-)

Also when I push the gas even when its warm it seem to be starving for fuel ?

Fuel pressure regulator? i'd say most likely your fuel pump is good. Did you change fuel filter?

Yep changed the filter when I put in the new pump. And the fuel pressure was 38-40 I think.

is this at idle or revving it up? its not real bad fuel pressure but for a aftermarket pump its not crazy strong. im just wondering.

If that's running with the vac line connected that's probably about right. Won't matter what pump is there, the regulator controls the pressure

I really think you should try an o2 sensor. I had similar problems, wideband confirmed even... Running lean then it going even leaner as I tip in the throttle. Fuel pressure on mine was fine too.
