Hi I have a 94 GMC Silverado with a 5.7 Litre in it. I was driving it last week and when I went up a hill I lost power. I pulled over and it was surging even at idle, my dreaded check engine light was on. I have a code reader and when I got it home found a 44 o2 sensor. I have since replaced the sensor and changed a fuel filter for good measure. Started it up and it ran at idle but when I put it in gear it dies and is surging again. I took my air cleaner and clearance ring off the throttle body and both injectors are spraying evenly even when it dies out. Now the o2 sensor code is back, I checked it over and it only has one o2 sensor in it. Any help would be appreciated

Have you checked if the catylatic converter is plugging?

It was removed by the previous owner and a new exhaust put on 15,000 km ago clear as a whistle.
