missing/cutting out

I have a 01 silverado 5.3 with 117k that has just recently started to miss or cut out around 45mph and when trying to maintain a steady speed. The service engine soon light was on and it had codes p0172 and p0175 set twice. I've cleaned my K&N air filter and the mass air flow sensor, replaced the plugs. Any ideas what could be causing this or what I need to try next?

Re: missing/cutting out

What did you clean the MAF with?

I posted other times about my throttle body being dirty caused the miss/cut out (at 45 mph and 1500 rpms was the worst) I cleaned it and its been fine ever since.

Did you replace the O2 sensors yet? (beat you j cat )

Re: missing/cutting out

Because its both codes its probably not an O2 sensor. Look to something else like fuel pressure regulator or intake gaskets.

Re: missing/cutting out

i cleaned the MAF with MAF cleaner, i have also cleaned the throttle body when i was cleaning the MAF and K&N. How do i check the fuel pressure regulator? i tried to check for a leaking intake gasket by spraying the throttle body cleaner all around the intake and didn't notice any differences in the idle.

Since it has over 100k miles O2 sensors would be a good thing to replace...

Re: missing/cutting out

Re: missing/cutting out

Were you able to solve this issue? I'm having the same problem with my 2000 Silverado 5.3L. (but no codes)

Thanks!

Gremlin the truck does not have a cap and rotor. It has coil packs and an ignition module.
