Stutter under steady speed
2004 3400 - 81k
When cold, it has an occasional stutter at LIGHT acceleration, generally about up to about 20 mph. It's hit-or-miss as to when it does it.
At any temp, it has an occasional stutter around 32-35 mph and around 60 mph. No external conditions seem to affect it. It does it only when it feels like it. RPM gauge does not flutter or change when it does this. I have no SES/SVS lights and no pending codes.
I'd compare the studder to hitting a strong headwind or hitting a "puddle" in the road after a rain. When it starts doing it, hitting the gas makes the car respond normally.. get back to a steady speed and it starts stuttering again. Again, it only happens once in awhile. Sometimes it cruises along perfectly, other times it starts bucking.
I've changed the plugs and wires (replaced with delco iridiums and delco wires), TPS, fuel filter. Trans fluid I have not changed, but is red and looks normal.
What am I missing?
