Angry Low Power

I am second owner on 2002 24 valve 100,000 mile 2500 truck. The problem - I experance low power on start up depending on driving warm up time or distance traveled. On warm day 60-70 the eng will kick in full power after about 1/2 mile. ON cold day 30-40 it will take any where from 5 to 10 miles to kick in full power. Wondering if I have a bad sencer?

Typical is check LP pressure, and check for P codes. Key on three times and read Odometer. Fill out sig, so have ideal what mods have been invested in.

checking pressure with new lift pump is a key step , i change them at work all the time to see them fail new. if the motor doesn't have fuel it cant make power anything under 7 psi is fail...also you can have codes without check engine light on also injection pump codes as well...
