I have a '99 Tahoe that was running fine until I was coming back from out of town (OKC back to Dallas). The cruise was on and all of a sudden, I started to loose power. I thought the truck cut off, but it was still running. I had to tap on the gas to pick up speed. I couldn't use the cruise for the rest of the trip (it wouldn't stay set).
After returning home, it was fine for a couple of days. It's ok when I start, but after I get on the highway, it will start to hesitate, and I have to tap (up and down) on the gas. It will also loose power if I'm going up a hill. At a stop light, if I try to gun it, it will also hesitate. Same with trying to accelerate while going 60+ mph. I've heard different things...air filter, gas filter, plugs, wires, distributor, air sensor, etc. What is the easiest way to correct the problem? Where should I start? |

I had the same problem. Replaced the fuel filter at 98,000 miles. Haven't had the problem since. Plus, it's easy and cheap.

Re: 99 Tahoe running rough
First you need to find if you are losing fuel pressure , a misfire condition or a converter starting to clog up

They say to replace the fuel filter every 30k miles.
