Have a 4.3 that on cold start idles like a dream, I let the rpm drop, and it drives good with plenty of power to maintain 75 on the highway however after a while it slowly starts to loose power and won’t maintain speed in fifth gear on a level road and starts hesitating while driving through stop and go traffic if I get on the throttle she studders a bit and takes off but when I shift into 4th at 45mph she starts loosing power and studders and becomes a pain to drive I have new plugs and wires, new distributor cap and new o2 sensor. The truck has no cats and the exhaust is run through a flow master muffler. Could it be possible I got a dud on the o2 sensor?
The spray pattern off the tbi looks even and solid and when I unplug the o2 sensor it runs better but still hesitant in stop and go. I’ve checked ignition timing running 3* advance and it seems like the motor is solid. 208k on the odometer. I’m not very experienced with the tbi motors.
