Fuel sensor? When accelerating and hitting between 50-65 mph the truck will chug like it's not getting fuel. Once in a while the check engine light comes on when this happens but not all the time and it doesn't do it all the time either. It has never done it while on cruise only when physically accelerating.

You should get this checked out as soon as possible. It's possible something serious is going on. If there is by running it could cost a lot of money. Could be as simple as a fuel sensor not working properly and again it could be a serious problem.

SOURCE: engine first runs good, but progressive chug/misfire.

Check for vaccum leak, if not check or replace mass air flow sencor.

SOURCE: my check engine light comes on after 70mph and

If the light was flashing when it came on, then it means your engine is misfiring.

A solid light can mean anything from a loose/faulty gas cap to a transmission issue.

This light comes on when the computer detects a fault of some sort in its diagnostic tests. If it keeps detecting this issue, the light will remain on. If the light turns off, then it has detected that the issue may no longer be present.

In order to find out what the exact reason was for your light, You need to have your car computer scanned to retrieve the code that the computer would have stored when the light triggered. Most garages will do this free of charge. The code will tell you what may have caused the light to initially turn on.

Change plug wires next and put in some SeaFoam. This sounds like a tune up issue... just run though the paces.

Anytime it flashes, that usually means it is a major problem. You need to get it scanned asap. It could get much worse. Autozone does the scan for free and they will tell you what is wrong. Be careful.

Dodge durango chugging constantly, idle steady, lights dim with chug and engine light flashed 3 times when tried to accelerate at about 50 mph

A flashing check engine light means there is a serious problem (as opposed to a steady light which means there's a problem). You need to have the stored codes read before trying to figure out what's wrong. Most auto parts stores will read codes for free. Then simply Google your make and model and the code and you will probably get a few results that will point you in the right direction.

2006 chrysler sebring chugs wants stall

I doubt it. You should have the computer checked for trouble codes.
It could be a long list of things including low fuel pressure.

04 saturn L300 acceleration dies

run the fault codes first to check for faulty sensors
what you describe indicates a problem in the exhaust in that when the exhaust gas volume reaches a certain level the sensors are reporting it and the ECM is not able to fix it
have an accredited exhaust shop check the cat converter
for failure and partially blocking the exhaust at speed
if it was a fuel pump you would run into problems long before the speed at which it occurs
AT best it could be an EVAP problem with the vent not working properly but I think that it is exhaust related

Chugging and wont accelerate

My first guess would be low fuel pressure or a faulty throttle position sensor. The faulty sensor should turn the check engine light on.
I would check those things first.

Is the check engine light on ?
It sounds like the engine temp sensor is not right, but if that were true you should have a check engine light and a code for the sensor.
Have you checked fuel pressure ?

2000 Subaru Impreza idling and accelerating poorly, burning smell

Try getting the fuel injectors cleaned. clean the mass air flow sensor .
------------------- also
is typically caused by insufficient lubrication to the camshaft synchronizer, which is the short drive assembly installed where earlier engines had a distributor. Once they begin to squeak, the bushing is shot, and the synchronizer must be rebuilt or replaced. They are available new, new aftermarket, and remanufactured. In extreme cases, looseness of the worn shaft will allow the rotating cam to destroy the cam sensor, which at a minimum will activate the "check engine" light and degrade engine performance, but more likely will result in failure of the engine to run. ---------------- also ---
What color is the smoke? Black - running rich. Bluish - buring oil. White - burning coolant.

Poor acceleration

Could it be a bad exhaust? Not enough pressure will leave you with less horsepower any time you hit the gas. Just a thought.
