Idle Really Rough!!!

Ok so i replaced the vp44 and bleed everything but my truck idles so rough it sounds like its about to die. I have no clue what is wrong with it. i made sure during the vp44 install that everything was installed correctly. what could be the problem? also i installed a fuel pressure gauge. when i start my truck it sits at around 11 then when i drive it sits at 9-10. but if i let it idle for say 10 mins. it drops to 0. it won't climb back up either when i start to drive it stays at 0.

low pressure pump, maybe. when mine went, it would hold 6-10psi at idle then randomly die and come back. is it the original lp pump, any codes.

sounds like time for a new pump and map sensor!
