Sputtering like it is out of gas,replaced the fuel filter,it rangood for about 5 mins.then started to sputter and stall.this started last night when i had to drive in a snow storm

need more input. (8valve or 16valve engine , which option?)
black top engine , or silver 16)?
does it fail, cold or hot engine or both?
does it have full power from engine , at all speeds and loads (hills)?
and wide open throttle power.?
ever do the 60k tune up, not just a fuel filter?

how old is the fuel?
the pump/reg holds 34-43 psi.at all times...running.
sputter, from too low RPM ? below 800
or idle fast, but sputters at 800 and more?
if the latter, that is called misfire.
if the former that is lost of idle controls.
need to now which engine. because the are worlds apart.
EFI wise !

but here is a page on misfire. "sputter"
50 reaons and more causes.
we dont guess, we do about 5 tests and bingo....

when was the last time it ran good,?

could be partially plugged catlyletic converter it will only get worse .could be the egr valve and or the map sensor three things a shop would have to check for you .

Amanda: When was the last time the Gas Filter was changed? ...Also has the Distributor rotor been changed? The problem sounds like a clogged fuel filter...Changing the Rotor is a $5 good idea...See photos below...The filter and rotor can both be bought for $20...Once the filter is changed, i would suggest adding a can of SEAFOAM...Cost is $9 a can at most auto part stores...Pour it in the tank the next time you fill...It's an excellent internal cleaning product...

Sounds like it could be your alternator dying or dead. Have it checked.

turn left, sputter, sputter, pop! sputter, sputter..............vvveeerrrooommm !? WTF? Crazy 91 Honda CRX just became a death car tryin to get through an intersection. Checked all my wires and ended up in the gas tank tryin to put the fuel pump back together. POS pump is in the left side of the tank!? So if you got a few miles on it the fuel pump screen can fall off. Turn left and the last 1/8th of a tank goes to the right leaving a 3/4 ton chevy in your girlfrends lap...well almost. I still got the CRX, the girl got droped off at the car wash cuz she smelled like poo.

Yes please put a high octane gas in this GMC and you may also want to get a fuel cleaner you need to fluch out all the old gas by simly using it up. I fthis doesn't work replace the fuel filter.

Fuel filter. Timing/timing chain. Idle air control valve. Idle sensor. Vacuum leak. Probably one of the above, but the filter is cheapest place to start. Change your air filter too, if you haven't for a while.

Fuel pump or fuel filter.

change plugs wires also .fill gas tank up put prestone or gum out fuel injector cleaner.drive car around several miles.give injector cleaner time to clean out injectors.wait until engine cool .change fuel filter.relief fuel pressure before changing fuel filter.
