my 95 5.7 is skipping as you take off. at firsti thought it was the plugs. soi changed them and got a little bit better but still skips. i also thought is was the EGR valve. so i changed it also and still skips. so next thing i'm going to adjust the lifters and see if thats it. but if yall know any other ideas let me know asap..

 

Skipping as in hesitating, missfiring, bogging down?

 

its more of a hesitating skip.

 

I'd start with replacing the fuel filter. It could be clogged up if it has never been changed. Especially with it being a 95.

 

pull the o2 sensor before the the cat and see if it runs better sounds like the cat is starting to clog

 

If the cat was clogged it would stay bogged down. I doubt it's that.

 

have you looked at the cap and rotor also? My g/f truck did that and i changed the cap, rotor, plugs, wires and the air filter and it hasnt done it since.

 

plug wire most likely....corroded cap...
