Lightning bolt indicated a problem with the electronic throttle by wire system. Sometimes replacing the throttle position sensor fixes them, but this should be repaired by a competent mechanic.

Yes, pump wasn't kicking on. Just changed it and truck fired right up.

Glad you git it fixed. Did some research and nothing came up about "lightning bolt" and fuel pump. Best of luck and thanks for posting the cure.
