Sounds like something from the ecu to the fuel pump is messing up.

Sounds like a dirty fuel filter, or a problem with the pressure regulator......Start by replacing your(under hood) fuel filter....It's cheap and easy to do......Click.........

First, check the fuel system pressure:



If you determine the pressure is lower than it should be, than before replacing anything test the fuel pressure regulator:

changed to fuel filter a couple of weeks ago, today I did the fuel pump, still having issues, tack like to surge, so I guess I need to try pressure regulator, need to find it first, so any help is appreciated

Ok found pressure regulator, we are any thoughts about cleaning throttle body and mass are flow sensor, also had suggested idle air sensor, I check engine light never has come on so I have no codes to research, and sometimes when the tack increaes it doesn't seem like the engine does anything different but when it drops it is like it is starving for fuel, again any help is appreciated

I changed to fuel pump, still doing same thing not as bad, thinking about trying pressure regulator, do you have any thoughts on it possilbly being map sensor, cleaning thottle bottle or possible the idle air sensor, have had these suggested, wanted another opinion
