Bad lift pump?

Ok here is the problem, i just put in my injectors and turned my starwheel a bit. But now sometimes the truck acts like it is starving for fuel. it looses rpms and runs really ruff. if i step on the accelerator it will run just fine until i let off again, and then after doing this a couple of times it will run just fine. Has anyone had this problem. Im thinkin maybe it is the lift pump and ist just not sending enough fuel at idle but when i step on the acc. it pumps enough, Any ideas. I just hope its not the injection pump, but if it is i guess it will be a great time to get the timing checked and advanced a bit, and i also remembered i had to get fuel at a place i dont usually get fuel so i am going to change my fuel filter and put half and half with additive to see if maybe i just got some bad fuel.
