    Robert, possible causes-- Faulty spark plugs, faulty coil, faulty fuel injector, intake/vacuum air leak, fuel injectors harness is open or shorted, fuel Injectors circuit poor electrical connection, ignition coils harness is open or shorted, ignition coils circuit poor electrical connection, insufficient cylinders compression, incorrect fuel pressure,
    worn distributor/gear were also a problem with GM's

When i floor my 01 navigator it wont go it makes a popping sound in the throttle body

sounds like the cats are plugged up....remove the o2 sensors and see if it runs better. Mine would idle, but would pop and stumble when the gas was hit. Ran well for a long time but would stumble whwn floored, slowly got so bad couldnt drive it but it idled fine. Pulled the o2 sensors and started it up and all kinds of debris, junk, blew out. Replaced cats and o2 sensors and runs great. cost $2000.00 in parts.If you find that this is your problem, then check to see if the cats came apart and blew chunks into the muffler,,,,can cause a restriction and cook the new cats. Took me a lot of time to get this truck running right, but it sounds like youre dealing with the same issues..I went through the coil packs and chased engine codes for a week. Pull the o2 sensors and see what blows out; and if engine runs better.....hope this helps (spend some time pricing o2 sensors and y pipe with cars...you can save some $. good luck!

My 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3 L engine surges +/- 200 rpm between 30-59 mph in final drive gear...in lower gears runs fine. No check engine light or computer code generated until recently which showed...

a bank 1 or a bank 2 generally means an 02 sensors bad. or you may simply have a faulty gas cap. i would try the gas cap 1st,make sure it's tight, the engine running for a few minutes,then cut engine off. then open gas cap,do you hear pressure [air] releasing from the fuel tank? ok if not that,then if bank 2 is really bad,your check engine light would be on. but if the idle control sensor is bad,no light would be on at all. and it[engine] would idle up and down.or would'nt idle at all,or would idle up and down,just like what you've described. good luck and thank you for choosing fixya.com and please let me know if i'ved assisted you!

Random misfire

Intake manifold gasket or cracked intake manifold will cause a variety of problems including rough idle and random misfire. You can try spraying a little carb cleaner at various points around the intake manifold while the engine is idling and see if the RPMs pick up at any point. This would indicate that it is drawing air in someplace where it shouldn't. The slow acceleration is probably because the computer has set itself all out of wack and is trying to compensate, that's why you get codes like O2 sensor when it really isn't bad, it's just raw gas getting to it.

i wouldn't be looking at the o2 sensors! look at the coolant temp sensor! when the car is cold it doesn't correct fuel & air ratio until it is warm so it is not looking at the o2's till then! if the sensor is bad and telling the computer it is warm when it is cold them it would be leaned out and run like that then when the car gets warm it's fine because the sensor is still saying it's warm! would be the opisite if it went bad and was telling the computer it was cold! that is a sure sign of the temp sensor being bad! good luck

Have you changed the fuel pump yet?I had the same exact problem.I replaced my fuel pump with an AUTOZONE PIECE OF JUNK fuel pump.That pump lasted almost 2 days.The second day i had it the truck didnt want to start but it did and it ran like ****,and when i put it in gear it ran as long as I didnt touch that gas pedal.You could go get a fuel pressure test or just replace it,your call.You might want to check your filter too but im sure its the pump.Good luck
