1997 Chevy Cheyenne mileage: 106,000. I first noticed that it was hesitating during acceleration, and that it was "bucking" while driving down the road. I thought the fuel pump had gone week, so I replaced it. While this helped, the problem persisted. I gave it a full tune up, wire, cap and rotor, plugs, fuel filter, and it was all done with factory parts. All of my hoses are tight, and the only thing I can think of that is left, is either a compression problem, which I doubt seeing as it came on suddenly, and not gradually with time, or the EGR valve, which as far as I can tell is still working properly. I have tried an injector cleaner, and nothing. I reviewed the FAQ's, but none of them seemed to specify my persisting problem. What do you think the problem could be? I have been working on this truck, making it perfect, for way too long to let this stop me.

The first thing we would look at would be the Mass Air Flow Sensor or the fuel pump is weak. Scan the data stream information going to the computer to verify the values of each component.
