My suburaban 5.7L runs fine, pleanty of power will do 90 with no problem. The problem is a bucking in the engine after I reach speed if I try to accelerate a miniman amount the engine started to buck as though there is no fuel, If I am going 50 and try to push a little to get to 55 there is a terrible bucking. as long as I am accelerating it runs smooth. If I set the cruise control at 75 it tends to smoothen out, but you can still feel minor bucking Over the last 6mo I have replaced the cap, rotor, and coil. new plugs and wires. the trans oil and filter were done 60 days ago. Truck is well maintained.

Hi, thanks for the donation. Do you have the spider fuel system? I'd use a gage and check fuel pressure. Maybe the fuel poppets need cleaning?
