O.k. I've been looking at this post for a while and thinking. You said the check engine light is on right? What are the codes. I'm guessing PO302 and PO307, but do you have any other ones? I'm thinking you might have leaking intake manifold gaskets.

My 2000 chevy express an 5.7L runs rough. Its mostly at mid thottle but sometimes is noticeable at idle. just had a tune up. fuel pump is fine. no check engine light is on. doesn't quite feel like its...

Was it running that way before tune up ? If not you have a loose spark plug wire or plug.Make sure the plug wires are not touching each other or any part of manifold this could lead to spark jumping. You could even have a wire crossed. It could be a TPS ( throttle positioning sensor) I hope this helps
