I have a 1995 Chevy Suburban that for years now has a HORRIBLE sputter when accelerating from about 1-30, and lightly sputters as I accelerate to highway speeds (but even then it still does sometimes).
I have recently seen that, as odd as this sounds, it seems as though when I accelerate from 1-20ish it is actually slowing down the harder I push on the gas, so I have to flutter the gas until it gets to a good speed. Idling is fine.
I have a brand new transmission and a brand new air filter, replaced the spark plugs about 2 years ago, and this problem still stands.
I have been reading a lot about bad fuel pumps, but none explain my situation PERFECTLY, and before I get under my car, I want to make sure I have found the problem
Also wanted to point out that this happens about 80% of the time when driving. On the rare occasion, the thing accelerates like a beast (as it should. =P )
Just wondering if this is a fuel pump problem, what I should do, and/or any suggestions.
Thanks!
Oh, and I don't know if this is part of the problem, but when I go to start it, I have to turn the key and it rumbles for about 2 seconds then I let go then turn it again and it starts fine.
