Sounds like possible ignition misfire. Go to an autozone or parts store that will scan the engine management system for free and repost what the codes are then we can help further

SOURCE: Stumbles on acceleration

Well, I would replace the air filter, make sure the air hose from the air filter to the intake is not kinked or blocked and check for vacuum leaks. If these are all fine, I would check the fuel pressure as it is possible the pump is weak and not supplying enough fuel.

SOURCE: 1994 Silverado stumbles on acceleration when cold

Is the check engine light on? If it is, take the truck to an autoparts store and have them use a scan tool to retrieve the fault code(s) stored in the computer. I would suspect a faulty throttle position sensor or bad EGR valve, but the code(s) should narrow the problem down. Sure hope this helped.

SOURCE: Car "chugs" when accelerating

If you don't have any service engine lights on, it probably is fuel related. You can do a fuel presure test to see what shape your pump is in, should be around 46-96 psi. Change filter...check injectors by unsnapping the connectors and taking an ohms meter and looking for .12 ohms at each injecter. You also, can test the injector to see if it is working by using a stethescope and listen to each injector for a clicking noise if ones sounds different...that would be a good place to do the ohms check...if either test fails, that could be where your problem lies.

Saturn sl2 dies out when quick acceleration

If dies out you me stutters or stumbles on acceleration.
Depends on the year, it could be the maf (mass air flow) sensor in the air intake after the air filter. Or it could be the EGR valve in the early models 1990-1994 they were known for getting clogger and cause a stumble or lack of power at anything over partial throttle.

Oil filter

You probably could if the threads are the same. Aside from military vehicles I have worked on, the Saturn was the first car I worked on with a spin-on trans filter. Most auto parts stores carry the transmission filter for Saturns and they are not that much more than an oil filter.

2000 Safari, engine/trans stumbles under load. Already replcd...

Other problem areas to check are a clogged catalytic converter and rear axle gear oil level (Astro/Safari axle seals leak causing shuddering under load and eventually seizing).Also GM's have had strange intermitent engine and trans problems that dissapear after replacing the main fuses. Check with a GM dealer for TSB's for your truck.

You must have the range selector out of adjustment, if it is not that the trans was built wrong.
