2002 Chevy Express V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

THIS VAN HAS 190,000 MILES, IT STARTS EASY AND IDLES FINE BUT UPON ANY THING MORE THAN A GRADUALL ACCELERATION BOOGS DOWN AND BACKFIRES UNTILL IT HAS BEEN DRIVE FOR A HALF HR. OR MORE. THEN IT DRIVES OKAY UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN. THE ONLY CODE THAT EVER COMES UP IS P0302. I DID A COMPLETE TUNE UP MINUS WIRES THEY ARE ONLY A YEAR OLD. STILL NO CHANGE.

You need to do something with P0302 could be causing all that problems, check the sparkplug, compression and injector for cylinder no.2
