A tuneup with new distributer cap--plugs--wires works----also new air cleaner--fuel pump may be worn-get a pressure test----transmission cud be worn also along with torque converter-hav a pressure test done also--inspect fluid-if dirty and low-changeit--dont flushit

sounds like you need to freshen up the spark plugs,wires,and or coil packs if they have them

If someone has adjusted the adjustment at the top of the steering box too tight you will have that type of feel in the steering.
SOURCE: RPM jumps
Does the RPM seem to bog down around 3000 - 3500? If so you have fuel delivery problem> Start with the filter.

DO TRANSMISSION FLUID FILTER CHANGED IF YOU AT 100000 MILES,WHICH IT IS DUE,CHANGE AIR FILTER AND FUEL FILTER, CLEAN FUEL INJECTORS SEE IF YOUR POWER IMPROVES.TRANSMISSION NEEDS A HEALTHY ENGINE BEFORE IT WILL SHIFT RIGHT AND SMOOTHLY.
SOURCE: my 95 tahoe has an occasional ticking noise, loss of oil pressure at idle and loss of power
Prognosis is really bad, hate to tell you. Ticking comes from the valve lifters, losing lubrication due to lack of pressure and running dry. At redlights, when revs are at idle, oil pressure drops a lot, and engine really suffers. Have the vehicle taken immediately to a shop for proper diagnose and to see if engine can still be saved. The loss of power comes from the valves not actuating properly. Hydraulic lifters need oil at a decent pressure to "charge" , and if not charged, they will stay compressed, ruining valve lifting operation.
