Idle problem

Ok guys I did a search and found this is a common problem mine is doing this, the idle is surging about 100 rpm up and down, truck wont start unless i tap the throttle as soon as i do it cranks right up, if i let off while driving sometimes it dies so i have to hold the brake and gas. fuel filter was changed about 5k ago, gsk was installed over a year ago, idle is at 750 according to tach in drive with a/c on.
What do you guys think low fuel pressure (i dont have a gauge), bad overflow valve truck has 102,700 miles, or im thinking bad return line. Let me know thanks alot.
