Chevrolet Repair: Hesitation, z 71, distributor cap


Question
95 chevy z-71 5.7
My truck sputters when i accelerate unless i step on the gas hard

Answer
HEy,

 Sounds like an ignition miss.  Check the distributor cap for moisture and replace the plugs and wires if they are old and worn out.  A hesitation vibration under load indicates spark that doesnt want't to jump the gap and would rather go somewhere else.
