How to trouble shoot ignition on a 1999 chevy suburban with 5.7 auto. My problem is that I can not accelerate very hard at all or with a load.

Use a gage and check fuel pressure, for a start. How long since a tune-up? Check for applicable trouble codes. Some of the national brand autostores will check codes for free.

If you have that spider fuel system, it is noted for problems.
