96 Chevy Silveraldo, 5.7 Vortec v8. Idles fine,
raeally sound s as if you fuel pump pickup is clogged. this is exactly what was wrong with a 1997 tahoe. no engine codes. slow acceleratoion fine all the way to freeway speeds 70mph. but if you go full throttle truck would buck and backfire through throttle body. it is a lot of work but you must drop the tank, inspect your lines into the tank, pull the pump replace the filer and if if filter is torn make sure pump is not also clogged. good luck

1996 chevy pickup has no forward gear.
You may have a broken direct drive drum or another internal problem that is preventing the forward clutch packs from being engaged. There might be a service code stored in the computer relating to the problem but if the problem is mechanical in nature it often won't set a code of any kind. I believe you have a 4L60E transmission in this vehicle and usually when I see this type of problem the transmission needs to come out and be repaired. Hope this helps a bit!

Hello, my name is Ben. Considering the fact you have replaced so many parts and you aren't getting a pulse to the injectors, I believe you have a faulty fuel pressure regulator. It's relatively easy to replace. It's held in place by a clip, just be careful so the clip doesn't go flying off never to be found again. Be sure to take the old regulator with you to the parts store.

Ok this can be 2 things.. Firstly check. Your park neutral switch.. If that fails a bushinn in the shift selector needs changing.. In somecases its attributed to a stuck clutch in the transmission.. Yes automatic vehicles have clutches in the transmission.. In this case you will need to rebuild the transmission using a full kit... Or buy a new one. Now if u don't have experience it will be very difficult to check these your self since u need to know exactly what to look for.. I strongly recommend a mechanic
I have a 1996 c1500 with a 305 it will start and
Replace the fuel filter first and inspect your ICM (Ignition Control Module). Faulty ICM will fail when it starts to heat up and the engine will do what you have described.
Start with the simple and replace the fuel filter and have the ICM tested and replaced if it's bad. The wire leads to the ICM is also know to go bad from corrosion due to condensation that forms under the distributor cap.
Thank you for using fixya and keep us posted.

A good thing to check is the universal joints on your rear drive shaft. When they get worn, one of the first symptoms is a noise/ vibration that only occurs at certain speeds. Sometimes you can visually inspect them, and see signs of rusty powder coming out of the bearing caps.
