    Looking for help with diagnosis of DTC's P008A00, P107A2A and P107A64 on 2018 2GR-FKS. Symptoms are during hard acceleration like merging on highway vehicle starves for fuel, falls flat on face, pressure on scanner falls to close to zero on low- and high-pressure sides, let off of acceleration and pressure returns. I have replaced the low-pressure sensor/fuel rail and high-pressure fuel pump. No changes, the low-pressure pump was replaced due to the recall in 12/2020. At times the low-pressure pump does have a noticeable growling noise that comes and goes. I do not live in a high-altitude area, roughly 1100 abs. Low-pressure pump next on the list to try, any help is appreciated, thanks!

    Have you cleaned the throttle body. You should remove and clean, get a new gasket

    I would definitely start with the LPFP. If the truck is showing it is running out of fuel and hesitating under high fuel demand, I would say it isn't a sensor issue.

    I'm not sure cleaning the throttle body would increase fuel pressure from the tank. Cleaning won't hurt anything but I've never seen a dirty throttle body cause low fuel pressure.

    The MAF sensor and throttle body were cleaned when l/p fuel rail was replaced.
