Yes, fuel starvation would be indicative of good start and idle, but then loses power on the road. Injectors are more likely to affect a variety of RPMs and would often set a check engine light and run roughly (they rarely all go at once) Filter is a decent diagnosis. Replace proactively at 50KM intervals. Bad gas is not unheard of either. While checking, also check the engine air filter.
check to see if the cat converter is partially plugged if you can just unhook converter and run see if power is good if ok replace converter you can also do an exhaust back pressure test if you have the back pressure gauge but if you have replaced fuel filter and all i would say that it is quite possible that is your problem
Thee new fuels today go bad after around 3 weeks because of the ethonol content. Put a can of Sea Foam in the gas tank see if that helps clean it out. Best bet is to drain the tank put new fuel in it with a can of Sea Foam, then give it a good long run until the tank is empty. Re fill the tank and put the correct amount of Stabil in the with the gas, this will stop the gas from turning into sugar and it works for years.
Good luck
How is it running before it quits onyou. This could be the culprit of an egr valve. How many miles on thevehicle. The egr seems to die on a certain mileage pattern. Also youcould start by cleaning the egr valve before replacing it. This couldvery well help the situation, but this is just a guess. Hope thishelps!!
These trucks are noturious for fuel pump failure. The symtom you are discribing would make sense for this issue especially if it seems to be cranking quickly.
