Loss of power, stranded

My truck is a 2001 dodge Ram 2500. I am running the Fass fuel pump and seperator. I am 300 miles from home and noticed that the truck seems to be loosing power. When I press the accelorater nothing happens and then it seems to catch. I checked my codes and there is only (1) a P0216. The book says this is the injector pump. Could something else cause this code. Should I install a new injector pump before making the return trip or are there other things I should look at. When I installed the fass system I left the old filter in place because I didn't know what to do with the wires that plugged into it. Any sugestions? I have about 60,000 miles on this injector pump. Is that all I can expect from these things. Is there a more reliable unit available. My fuel pressure is a constant 18 psi.

I hate to say it but sounds like you need a new injection pump. P0216 is the injection pump death code. Don't think there is anything else you can do beside a new injection pump to fix your problem.
