My 2000 Chevy Silverado 4.3 6 cylinder is sputtering at about 2000 rpms. I did a tune up. Wires, plugs, pcv, EGR, distributor kit and air filter but still sputters.

Check engine light on ? Code's ? Scan data from a scan tool , MAF - mass air flow sensor , map , fuel trims , O2 sensor etc....

Chevy silverado 1500 z71 4wd. Sputters when starting and dies when pressing on the gas, wont start up sometimes.

How many miles do you have on it? Might be time for a tune-up (new plugs, plug wires, etc.) Start with the simple things first - have you changed your fuel filter? Could also be bad gas - couple of bottles of Heet (alcohol) will help with this. Then move on to more things like a Vacuum leak, fuel pump.

Service engine soon light came on after full tune-up

Make sure the gas cap is on tightly. A loose or faulty gas cap can cause an intermittent check engine light. Hope this helped and best wishes.

2001 chevy silverado engine ''sputters'' and is losing power-

Backpressure is the result of any obstruction in exhaust flow. Both the converter and muffler create a certain amount of backpressure by design. If the cat becomes plugged, exhaust cannot properly escape and can cause an extreme lack of power. (Engine can't draw in what it can't expell out the other end) Usually the rotten egg smell is also accompanied by a "wheezing" sound in the cat as well.

Sputtering

recheck the spark plug wiring order and make sure they are all plugged in properly.... check and see if a connector has come unplugged as well as any vacuum hoses... if you changed the air filter... check the hose going to the motor and make sure it is all secure

Hesitation

buy a couple bottles of gas line antifreeze and put them in the gas tank.... sounds like water in your fuel.
