2003 chevy tahoe will not accelerate pass 30mph. When I push on the accelerator it make a sound as though stuck in gear. When completely stopped and I accelerate it picks up speed but once it hits 30 it doesnt go any farther slowing down.
Your problem could be in the Transmission, but most likely it is caused by a sensor / electric part called an Accellerator-Pedal-Position-Sensor (APP-Sensor. If it is the APP Sensor, then you should be getting a signal in the information center saying "reduced power" or a Check-Engine Light.

Hello there,
Well good news! There is a fix for everything. First we will start with the clicking in the column. This is common and is one of two things.
1-the airbag clock spring is defective. Not an easy job but totaly doable with the right guidence and an fairly inexpensive tool. You will need to remove the air bag in the column but you will save if you do it yourself.
2-The turn signal cancelation pawl and or cam screws backed out. This in turn will rub on the lower side of the clock spring and the clicking would be the head of the screws rubbing on the rigges on the bottom of the clock spring. Remove the airbag and steering wheel. Remove the retainig clip on the clock spring and remove the clock spring. Inspect the screws holding down the turn signal cancelation cam.
Ok and for the ABS could be multipule problems. Your truck is equiped with OBD 2. Is there an check engine light, ABS light, or a brake light on in the insturment cluster? You may have a series of componding problems. The brakes could be dragging created by a defective caliper or wheel cyl. Or it could be a simple fuse related problem in the ABS circuit. The fuse is typicly located under the hood in the engine compartment and labled ABS in the fuse panel. If I can be of anymore assistance let me know.

You could have a dirty EGR valve, you can re move it from the manifold and clean it with Throttle body cleaner. Might as well buy two cans, since your cleaning the EGR, might as well clean out the throttle body too.
Spray the throttle body cleaner in to the throttle body with the engine running and try to keep it at 1000 rpm and then to 1500 rpm as you clean out the throttle body and let it idle down for 2 min then turn the engine off. Then turn the engine to the run position for 10 seconds and start and let idle, ro for a test drive and hope that solved the problem, if not there a few more things we can do which will consist for tune up.
Note: Clean the EGR first so you don't burn your self since the engine would still be cool before you clean the Throttle body.
Good luck and keep me posted.

If it sounds like a bird chirping, replace the universal joints.
