Re: Acceleration and Stalling Problem 72 GMC

So I took it out for another drive today and I got it into gear to reverse out of my driveway just fine, but as soon as I came to a stop it died. Put it into park and started it again and put it into drive and it didn't stall. Drove it around and it still is very sluggish and under powered. One of the things I've noticed is that it will coast along fine, but when I give it gas it kind of sputters and after about 2-3 seconds it catches and starts accelerating. It feels like the RPMs are dropping when I come to a stop. I've had this happen with an old jeep I had, but in that case it was the lifters and it was only firing on 3/4 cylinders. The difference between the jeep and the truck is that the jeep would kick back up after a few second once stopped, but the truck just stays there till you give it gas.

Today I replaced the air/fuel filters as well as put in fresh gas.

Anyways that's just me rambling trying to give you an idea of what is happening.
