I have a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe 4wd with the 5.7 liter v8 with 133,000 miles. I recently began having trouble when I accelerate from stop. As I press the accelerator, it feels as if the engine is "bogging down" and continues until I let off and accelerate slower or until you hear and feel a thump. I've replaced all of the spark plugs, wires and fuel filter, but the problem still persists. What else should I consider? Thanks for the help.

if you dont have a ses light on i would start by checking the fuel pressure and watching the bleed down , you may have poppet valve stuck or a fuel pressure regulator problem

Suggested Repair

With no SES light, check fuel pressure and how quickly it bleeds down. A stuck poppet valve or a faulty fuel pressure regulator may be causing the bog on acceleration.

Conversation Summary

A 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.7L bogs when accelerating from a stop until the throttle is eased or a thump is felt. Plugs, wires, and the fuel filter were already replaced. An expert advised checking fuel pressure and bleed-down for a stuck poppet valve or fuel pressure regulator if no SES light is present. Another owner suggested a distributor cap and rotor, and a 1998 Tahoe owner reported a similar warm-engine symptom after replacing oxygen sensors and the fuel filter.
