00 sputtering when give gas

[ermis33]

Hello, I am new to this forum but am looking for some help. I own a 00 Silverado with 58,000 miles on it. Here recently I have noted it starting to sputter when I give it gas at take off and when I am driving. I canged the fuel filter but that has not helped. I dont know if this question has come up here before or if it has already been answered but any help would be great. It is sort of a jerking movement when I give it gas. Timing off, new wires/plugs? If anyone else has experienced this please let me know.

Thanks
Matt

Ok I guess I am screwed. No one has heard of this.

This happened to me. Its the fuel pressure regulator. Well it was a combo of that and a clogged fuel filter in my truck. It fixed it.

Hey Matt, I had a similar problem with my truck. I had a new fuel pump and filter installed, which they assured me should fix the problem. It turns out that I also had some cylinder damage though (see my posting from earlier today), so I can't confirm that the fuel pump/filter repair has worked yet. It wouldn't hurt to check your spark plugs as well. Not sure if that helps at all, but just thought I should pass that on.

Could also need to just clean up your fuel injectors with some fuel injector cleaner available at your local automotive store. That or it could be a timing problem which would be bad.

Just fixed a somewhat similar problem on my buddy's truck. The truck would sputter if you gave it gas appropiately. If you floored it there wouldn't be a sputter. I noticed his serpentine belt was quite worn so we got a new one and it solved the problem.

Just thought I would let yall know in case this happens to any of you. The ignition coil had gone out. I replaced that and it hasnt missed a beat since. Originally I flushed my injectors and changed the fuel filter. Still was doing it. The replaced coil fixed it. Hope this might help someone one day.

how did you know which one to fix.did you read it with a meter? or check for spark on all the coils.my truck has the same problem. it does it sometimes.

My truck does the same thing. Everything mentioned has been replaced and still does it. I bought the truck at the dealership I worked at and the mechanics say its normal. BS - I say...but what can you do? I use an Octane boost everytime I fill up and it seems to help. Good luck!
