Nope, does not appear to be an air problem. When coming off a high rev the fuel just plain stops moving at idle and if I let stay like that for even a plit second it is almost impossible to get it moving again. I am better off just cutting the engine and restarting. This problem did start before I ever replaced the seal on my pump and I am really wondering if my pump is just fried. I am sure it could only so many times of draining it's fluid and refilling before something else gave out.

I am going to try a few more little things, but do not have much hope. Anyone know where I find a decent replacement? Otherwise, I guess it is off to the junkyard.

There is always ebay. Or post a add in the forsale/wanted area.

Don't want to teach you to suck eggs but...

Did you prime the oil filter when you replaced it?

My T4 had bubbles in the line and funny running until I did this - I thought they would bleed though the pump but they don't as the unprimed filter keeps leaking in more air.

Take the plastic fitting out of the top of the filter and fill the filter with with diesel. The few remaining bubble in the line will soon bleed through the pump.

I think it's clear that he meant fuel filter, not oil filter... just for the idjuts.
