A bad engine or motor mount will cause this problem.. The way it happens is, a broken mount (drivers side) will let the motor lift up, pulling the gas pedal wide open, so the motor is probably lifting up when you give it gas letting this happen(in that case you need a new mount)

Sometimes gunk from the EGR valve gasses will build up around and on the backside of the throttle plate and cause it to stick when you are trying to ease the throttle open from an idle. A common symptom is that as you begin to push on the throttle nothing will move then as you apply more foot pressure the throttle will suddenly sort of snap open but will work normally until you remove your foot from the throttle again and the thottle plate closes fully. Thoroughly cleaning the throttle plate and bore will remove the crud and things should work smoothly again. Hope this helps and good luck!

2003 gmc savana rough idle then shuts off

Does it have any power when you start moving? I've seen a lot of plugged catalytic converters. You may want to have an exhaust back-pressure test done.

1999 GMC Savana - changed fuel filter, changed fuel pump, changed mass oil flow sensor, changed fuel injectors; still won't run!

Hi, I see you have changed a bunch of items, but do we know if the engine is getting fuel pressure? (55 psi at test port), or getting good spark? Could the spark plugs be fouled?I think before you replace too many items, you should start with basics. Good luck, Thanks...

My 1999 gmc savana van turns over but does not

could be a bad fuel pump, or fuel pump relay. they are having problems(a lot) with the ethanol in the gas on GM products.Fuel pumps sales are through the roof at parts house on GM's. Have a pressure check on your fuel system. That is probably it. Add a can of Seafoam to your fuel every 3000 miles to alleviate this problem.
