Runs rough when I kick into it
I have 1 998 with 120,000 miles on it and I have noticed that when I am doing 55 -60 mph and floor it .... it seems to sputter and I do not have maximum power. I am going to run an additive through the gas that will clean the system out but could it be my PCV valve as well. What would cause it to sputter. When I am at idle it appears to sound okay.
Also, around 50 -55 mph it keeps slipping in and out of gear. I do not think the tranny is going because it grabs the gears pretty good. Any ideas on this?
Thanks in advance

Ya, that's true^^ I forgot about that.
Thanks GLC for the reminder. Run that Techron in a few tanks. You can get it at Walmart for like $6.
But still check on your fuel filter. My old 2001 was having the same problem, changed the filter and it went away. But I change the FF every 10~15K in my 2006.
With all the ethanol in the gas now days, you never know the quality of the fuel now.
