Did I just kill my VP44?

2 days ago I was driving to work and my truck started hesitating on the highway. I got to work and had no power. CEL came on. I changed the fuel filters. Bled fuel line. CEL still on. Truck starts fine and idles fine. In park if I slowly open the throttle it races to redline then cuts down to idle the races again. Took it 1/4 mile down the road and intermittent low/no power. I have plenty of fuel pressure. I can pull codes tomorrow morning. I don't want to keep running it on the chance I may still have air in the system somewhere. Any thoughts/suggestion?

When my VP died, the truck was DRT ( dead right there ). Pull the codes, to see if you have any. You may be sucking air somewhere.

Sounds like a hump hose may have come off.

P0122, P0236 I did a Timbo APPS in '09. I can't believe it could have failed already.

Hump Hose is a hose / boot connecting the intercooler tubing to the intercooler, turbo, or intake horn.
